Kaleb bringing a pheasant in.
Gyppie and I went along for the day on Sunday for a full day of tag-along, while K and Pete and friends were hunting. We enjoyed our time in the outdoors, walking in the fields and coulees, picking burrs, falling in badger holes, and bracing ourselves for gun shots. Jane stayed home as the terrain would have been tough in some spots, and she wouldn't have been keen on sharing the thousands of acres with the 2 goldens, there just wouldn't have been enough room for all them according to Jane.
This is Annie, who could resist a face like that! She is a great huntin' dog, and Kaleb's older girlfriend, but he's not picky, he likes her daughter CJ just as much :)
Gyp was starting to get suspicious, she figures she's safe hiding in the bushes. Because she was so gun shy last year, I kept her on her flexi-lead, tied to my backpack waistband for most of the time, I didn't want her to get too scared, she did great. She was much better with the noise than last year, so she'll be able to come along again. Her favourite part of the day was the Jack Rabbit than ran by us. She is curious of deer too, but won't chase them. She dreams the deer and bunnies are sheep, and she is one of those Border Collies that gets to run through the fields all day, rounding them up.
