The other day I went grocery shopping. I came home and unloaded ghetto car. I left the passenger side door open with a big bag of grocery’s on the floor of the front seat. I hauled in other bags and let the dogs out since they were locked up for 4 hours. I stayed in the house and put the frozen items away. I came back out side and who do you think I saw running across the lawn like HE had turpentine on his skinny ass carrying a bag of candy bars????????????
Can’t guess can ya????????????????????
OK I know I gave you a big hint……………………………..as I only have one male dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
It was Super G, who else!
yozers… I got turpentine on my ass.
Super G was running around the yard like he had the prize and wasn’t giving it up. Well I guess he was right he had the chocolate prize. You see that yellow object behind him? That is the wipes he hauled out also. In another photo you will see where the car was and where the wipes were. He hauled them about 40 yards from the car.
I don’t want no stinking wipes.
I’m such a good helper.
I think this was one loaded bag of groceries and he drug it out of my car and placed it right here and then started to go shopping and race around the yard with his items.
This past week I got a email from one of Nellie’s puppy buyer’s (Norman’s grandson) from her and Tiny’s 2009 litter. They bought a male puppy and named him Junior. Junior lives in Iowa and is lucky enough to live in a hunting household that also owns a hunt club and he is the designated pick up dog for the hunts. The past two weeks he has been hunting hard and has retrieved 180 snow geese. What a life, every hunting dogs dream.
This is what Junior’s owner says: We shot over 180 birds the last two weeks. He was the only dog in the field. He is so awesome. he had some blind retrieves that blew my mind, over the terrace’s and down the hill, then he would appear with the bird. You guys would be so proud of him!! I swear a couple of the guys fell in love with him. We joked that we should not leave JR and them alone in the same room!!!
Getting emails like this makes me so happy. So glad Junior is living the life and that his owners love him to pieces. This all wouldn’t of happened without Grandpa Norman to start out the family tree.
Here is what Love Is Being Owned By A Husky (Jenna along with Melissa from Barking From The Bayou are the new co-hosts) says about the hop: So please feel free to link up and party with us! Parade you fav pet photo’s , stories , ANYTHING you want! The only rule is . . . . There are no rules! And that’s the way we like it! Who needs rules at a party anyhow? BUT it is always a good idea to link back to your hosts, and maybe even give them a follow! Also, this hop consists mostly of kitties , there are a couple doggies that are involved, but the majority are kitties, so one of the reasons Melissa and are now co hosting is to let you all know that this hop is DOG FURIENDLY as well!
This weekend we finally had our first training day of the season. It was still very cold out but we bundled up and braved the coldness and set up some actual hunt test marks. John was the gunner and I was the handler. He did a double from the same station, what we call a mom and pop. One bird gets thrown one way and the other bird gets thrown the other way to make it a double mark. After the marks were picked up there were two blind set up that the dogs had to get by being directed by my hand signals. Both dogs were super excited to finally be out training.
Glory was first:
We are working on Glory being steady and doing doubles with her. Since she will be running AKC Senior hunt tests and UKC Seasoned tests this year those are the things she needs to do as well as run one blind. She was so excited on the first live flyer she broke (she went and got the bird before I could send her and before the other bird was thrown). We repeated the series and she did much better without breaking. I ran two blinds with her and she did them very well. Now we know what needs work right off the bat.
Up next was Gambler:
Gambler did very well also for his first time out. He sat rock solid on the first mark, sat solid on the second mark then he couldn’t take it as I was taking too long to release him and he broke. I got him back right away and made him sit there and then let him go. He flew out there as fast as he could and flew back so he could go out and get the other bird. His blinds were very good also.
Last but not least Nellie’s turn:
Nellie is run just for fun and so she can get some exercise in. She still needs to mind her manners and do things the right way but we are a little more lax with her. She still has it for a old gal. Hopefully her extra pounds will come off a little easier this spring and summer during training season.
Now onto our Resolve To Move Your Mutt blog hop that we joined at the end of last year. We are finishing up on the first quarter of the year of the resolution.
Remember this picture I submitted?
Glory’s resolution was to keep exercising and stay fit with hunt test training. Well we haven’t done much hunt test training this winter as it has been super cold and had massive amounts of snow. She kept fit by just running in the snow. I think she is fit for taking the winter off.
Gambler’s resolution was to eat more and gain a couple of pounds and to stay fit. I did feed Gambler a bit more this winter but then he decided he didn’t want to eat some of his meals so this was challenging. She might of put on a pound but not much more than that. He is still very muscular and very fit.
Nellie’s resolution was to eat less, walk more, loose more weight and to be fit. Nellie and I have failed so far with her resolution. She did get out and exercise a little bit but the calories she burned were put back on by her disappearing acts of running off when outside to go potty and snack on anything she could find, so no weight loss this winter. We will try harder this next quarter.

The Barks: Usually MK is the Bytes of this post but today since she had her first very own Chewy.com review which you can read here, she get’s the barks spot.
Since I took a gazillion pictures for the review I finally switched things up a bit and added some effects to the pictures. Usually I don’t do this as I want the pictures to be the way I took them but for something different I added effects. I think they turned out quite cool, what do you think?
I don’t know which one is which but these were a variation of black pencil, charcoal, colored chalk, colored pencil and pencil.

Two weeks ago I talked about my gator hunt as the gang didn’t get into any mischief, you can read about gators here. Everyone was surprised that Gman didn’t get into any mischief, well he made up for it the next week. Here is what has been happening around our house. It’s a week of playing catch up in mischief.
I have a couple of video’s of mischief to share. This first one is Gman Vs Goose. John brought his goose decoy in the house to fix it. This is what Gman thought of the goose decoy.
Disregard the potty mouth from John, we really don’t talk to our family pet’s that way. lol
This next video is Gman trying to get the cat’s food on the table.
Gman was so full of it having a week off from mischief he decided it would be a good time to wreck Glory’s bed.
Glory didn’t want to get left out so she grabbed some potpourri that the cat flung off the coffee table and started chewing on it.
Now Gambler has been reading his pal Easy’s blog a little too much and wanted to keep up with Easy in the toy destruction posts.
