I used to hunt ducks with a guy that had a black lab and a golden lab. I only visited on hunt days, so the dogs knew what was coming. They were always excited to see me. One year, when Maxine was getting older, I brought a wool blanket and invited her into the cab of my truck on the way home. He asked. I said she was older and deserved to ride in the warm truck with us. He told me that I gained appreciably in his estimation that day and he had a markedly more pleasant demeanor with me following that encounter.
had a brother in law like that. but he had a crew cab pickup and the back seat was JUST for his dogs. his dogs also had wet suits to keep them warm. first time I ever saw anything like that. and that was back in 1982-3. he had made some sort of platform instead of the bench seat for them. and he always had blankets and towels for them after hunting. hell, one time I think he gave them warm soup after a cold day hunting. the part I remember most was after the hunt and he went for beers and then put the first duck to the rubber finger wheel and the garage was filled with feathers ! unreal. had top cover my beer as they where floating everywhere in there. no matter what. he was very good to his dogs. dave in pa.
I love it when dogs take their human for a swim. I had a dog that would come and get me when she wanted to go for a swim. She could and did swim alone but sometimes she wanted me there too. Great dog she was.
Natural swimmers all are precious babies
ReplyDeleteAn excellent start to Friday.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't love dogs. And this guy obviously is a very great dog owner. I note that mama was there watching closely.
