Nice to hear he is staying the course.. Cherish every moment.

Glad to hear he had a good week! Keep cherishing those moments!

We are cherishing every moment. This past week Norman got to get a pheasant, had a photo shoot and got another beef bone for Halloween.  Here is a sneek peek of our photo shoot.

Hawk aka BrownDog says:

Hi Y’all!

How’d you do that? Get color in the birds? I assume it was an editing program.

Hawk, I do mine with a photo editing program called Corel Paint Shop. I think it is the coolest effect. If your mom would like she can do this with a free program on the internet called PicMonkey. I haven’t used this but other bloggers have. Sugar has a nice tutorial on it here

The back of the couch is my FAVORITE spot for overseeing my kingdom so I think it is perfectly acceptable for Gambler to be up there. Happy Monday!

I swear Gambler spends more time up on top the couch than he does on the couch.

Now for FitDog Friday

fitDogFriday_180x150

The Sand Spring gang as been working on getting fit this fall by hunting when ever we can. I needed to take Glory to work with me (Harmony Pet Care) this week so I weighed her. She is down 2# and her muscles are getting bigger. On my days off which were Wed and Thurs I took Gambler, Glory and Nellie pheasant hunting. We hunted for 1.5-2 hrs each day. They do a lot of walking and running with some swimming. I take all three dogs at once so they all get the same amount of exercise. Gambler was the man as he got a pheasant each day.

DSC_0857

We got a surprise in the mail when we got home from work Tuesday night. We got our Move The Mutt bracelet from PetsMove & DogTread.

Since Nellie is the one that is overweight and needs the motivation to keep moving she modeled the bracelet for you all to see how cool it is.

Mom said I needed this on my mouth so I wouldn't eat so much.

My favorite pic from our walk.

Thank you all again for your thoughts, prayers and kind words during this difficult time of knowing when to say goodbye to a loved one.

SLIMDOGGY (@MYSLIMDOGGY) says:

Here’s what my vet said to me that helped me make the decision about Becca…”when your dog is terminal (as Becca was), and in pain, you can’t be too early…but you can be too late”. That was hard to hear, but it helped me do what was right for Becca, not what was right for me.

Thank you SlimDoggy for letting me know what your vet told you, it is so true and I need to listen to it so I thought I would share it with everyone else.

Scoop That Poop

I have to clarify. I think The Fifth Paw is a awesome contraption, I just don’t think it works will when walking multiple dogs with multiple leashes hooked up to a very large caribeaner. The leashes got all tangled up from the dogs moving back and forth and then the poop bags got tangled in the leashes.

Wordless Wednesday~Rain Jacket

Gambler

Gambler

GOLDENWOOFS says:

Even though its raining you guys still go out. Do you have a Snow Jacket?

Yes even know it rains we still go out or should I say John and the dogs go out. Ducks love the water so some of the best hunting is in the rain. I am a fair weather hunter and if it is raining I usually don’t go. No snow jackets, just vests to keep them warm. I on the other hand have enough clothes to look like a Eskimo.

I bet a Chessie’s coat is pretty water repellent even w/o the camo-jacket!

You are so right. Chessie’s are one of the oiliest dogs out there for that reason to repel water. They were breed to be able to withstand the harsh elements of weather, in order to do that their coats need to repel water. They have a oil gland in their tail that supply’s the oil. Some male dogs will have a bare spot on their tail about 1/4 the way down from the base of the tail and that is the gland, for some reason they loose the hair over that gland. It is often called stud tail.

Gambler, Glory and Nellie are getting fit each day I have off. You see it is hunting season now so when I am off I take them hunting. Sometimes we go duck hunting, sometimes we go pheasant hunting yesterday Glory went goose hunting, Gambler and Nellie went pheasant hunting. Poor Gambler and Nellie walked and ran for 1 hr and 45 mins and didn’t get any birds. They got a nice workout thou and that will help Nellie burn calories and hopefully loose some weight. Glory got plenty of retrieves in a corn field this morning so she got her quota of exercise today also.

I added Nothing But Norman to this weeks FUF because I wanted to let everyone know I read each and every comment over and over. Thank you all so much for caring and taking the time to share your thoughts with us. It really helped me through that sad moment in time. I know that I am not alone and you all have been through this and other dealings with life and I am so glad I have you all. I think the time is ticking faster and faster for my buddy. Hugs back to all of you!

AMYWERN says:

Life would be WAY too boring without Gambler in it! He was sent to keep you on your toes for sure. :)

FORSURE

Wow. I suggest a video camera so next time you can see it in action!

I wish Norman could of talked because he was locked in the room with him when he got out the second time. He was probably thinking “boy, your gonna get your ass tanned when they get home!”

DSC_0244

Sounds like a great week!

Since I’m not a hunter, I have to ask….What do you do with all those birds? Clean them and freeze them? Or do you donate some? I know the deer hunters in my area often donate their deer to homeless soup kitchens……

When we are in Saskatchewan at the farm house we breast the birds out. In order to get them back across the border you need to leave one wing attached for identification purposes, so we only keep the breast. Once home we cut the breast meat off the breast bone and remove the wing. Since it turns out to be a lot of meat like 30+ pounds we take it all in to the local butcher and have it ground up and made into mostly goose hot sticks, breakfast sausage and brats. You don’t even know it is goose since they add pork to it. This is what we live on during the summer when sitting at hunt tests.

More hunting pals photos. They had the best time in Saskatchewan. I asked if I could hunt with Glory one day so I could get some close up photos of her and John said NO!
FLEABYTE says:

What are the white things?

JACKIE BOUCHARD says:

I also wondered what those white things are. Hard to tell in the photo.

Those are called rag decoys or silo socks. They are basically white bags that have some paint on them to resemble snow geese. We put out like 1000 of these guys.

Two treats? Nellie got two treats on her birthday? Dang, don’t tell Sampson and Delilah, they’ll start making demands.

Yogurt-granola cups AND cake? Wow. I feel so guilty. I barely remember to say Happy Birthday to my pups!

Yes Nellie got two treats, she didn’t get that big by not eating. Now that her bday is over I really need to get going with PetsMove and get her extra weight off her which I know is not healthy for her. This also coming with this week being prevent pet obesity.

We spotted thousands and thousands, it was just amazing the amount of birds up there. Mainly snow geese but still a ton of birds.

FLEABYTE says:

Birds with long legs?! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH BIRD WITH LONG LEGS?!?

Birds with long legs? Not emus I hope. :)

No they weren’t emus but Cranes. We take the crane breast and cut them into chunks, put blackened seasonings on them and soak in butter and fry on high heat in a cast iron skillet. It is very nummy that way.

DOGS N PAWZ says:

Gambler on the cat perch? My dogs wouldn’t have enough coordination to do that. We are totally impressed! Sharing Rocky.

Yes Gambler on the perch, he used the low perch then I sat him on the middle one. He was all wobbly when he jumped up there and then I put him up and told him to sit and he did.

FLEABYTE says:

MK is really becoming a beautiful cat!

Thank you very much. MK had a rude awaking today when I took her to work to just have a kidney ultrasound done to see if indeed she only had one kidney before her spay and declaw surgery next week. The ultrasound confirmed she only has one kidney on the left side. It looked good so since we had time we went ahead and spayed her and declawed her. She is waking up now and is in stoner land.

That was so cute. Did you use treats, or were they just interested in the book?

No treats were used. I just made them sit on the chair and they did the rest.

Update on Ghetto car. Tuesday night I was driving home from work which is a 85 mile drive. I went to use the breaks and there were no breaks. They made a horrendous noise and I could push them to the floor board without them doing anything. Luckly I have a stick shift so I can down shift to break and slow down. I made it home just fine. When got home looked at the break fluid which was none. Filled it up and was good to go the next day. DAA adverted for the time being.

TARYNFT says:

Does the dog watch while the tube with the rat is hidden?

The dog shouldn’t see where the rat is hidden. They should sniff it how without knowing where it is at.

Hope everyone has a great week, the next blog posts will be pre-empted, they are stories from prior Saskatchewan hunts. I will be following up with your blogs when I get home. Be safe all and see you when I get back.

Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop

Today’s co-hostess is 2browndawgs. Stop on over and visit with another Chessie lover and see what her gang is up to.
Sorry this is going to be another short post as I still have no computer and this post I am doing on my nexus. I can’t seem to add a link to 2browndawgs or to anything thing else. I am going computer shopping tomorrow so hopefully I will be back in business for Saturday’s Nothing But Norman post.
First off remember to order your 2nd annual dogs of blogville 2014 calendar. Norman is August so I know you all want to stare at him all month like I do because he is just that handsome. So hop on over to fuf host Heart like A Dog and get your calendar.

See post here. Sorry no original picture. Maybe after I get my new outer I can redo this post.
The little pink rose was on a rose bush hidden in my jungle of weeds. I was surprised to see such a pretty site in my jungle.
Monday Mischief/Tasty Tuesday ~sausage thief
The sausage thief would be non other than Gambler. He is so fast and sneeky and your right all the dogs benefited from his mischief. The sausage was made from the geese we harvested in Canada last year. I should say John harvested as I was in England at that time. We get so many geese we surely can’t eat that many so we take take the meat to Johnson’s Sausage Shoppe in Rio, WI and have goose hot sticks, sausage, gyro meat made. It is all very mummy just ask Gambler.
Tuesday’s Tails
I want to take a moment to welcome the host of Tuesday’s tails back. Lisa took some time off to grief for her beloved Phe. Hop on over and give her a cyber hug she sure could use one.
Check out Aspen and help her find her forever home.
Wordless Wednesday~Caught a big one
That silly marsh kitty has found the toilet. What a clown.
This ‘N That Thursday
Mk got the lime life 2 days in a row since my outer blew up. She has discovered the vase with the peacock feathers so she is having a ball knocking stuff over.
That concludes this edition of fun. Again forgive the bad post. I really want to do a blog post a day so this is what you get when I am improvising.
Have a great weekend.

Monday Mischief~Who Dun It?

MISS HARPER LEE says:

Look at those innocent faces. I think that little mousy somehow came to life in the middle of the night and caused all that destruction. Really. ;-)

CASCADIANNOMADS says:

I agree with Miss Harper Lee- the mouse! That’s why all those sweet innocent pets were playing with it. They needed to keep that naughty mouse away from their beloved bed!

DONNA says:

I agree with the others. The mouse definitely is to blame.

HAWK AKA BROWNDOG says:

Hi Y’all!

The cat looks innocent. Maybe it was a gremlin? or they ALL were involved. BOL! Guess we’ll never know since there were no witnesses unless it was the culprits!

Gambler’s Annual Veterinary Visit

2013-09-03 10.59.10

TARYN says:

Fortunately, dogs like corgis, with prick ears, aren’t very prone to ear infection so I have never dealt with one.

You are so right, the dogs with ears that stand up usually have far less ear infections since the ear canal is open to air dry.

I am surprised you got so many vaccinations at one time. I always spread mine out so as not to overwhelm the dog’s immune system.

We give vaccinations at the same time unless a puppy, small dog or a dog that had reactions in the past. Gambler hasn’t had any reactions in the past so we felt comfortable giving all three vaccines the same day. If the vaccines are spaced out then they need to be spaced out by over 2 weeks, if done in a time period less than that then the new vaccine works over the old der vaccine so that older vaccine doesn’t work.

DAKOTA/CAREN/CODY says:

oh wow I never knew that dogs could even get yeast infections!

Yes they can. They can even get yeast infections on the skin. The normal skin flora contains some bacteria and some yeast. It is when there is a problem that the bacteria and yeast get out of control and cause skin infections or ear infections.

WERNECKE91 says:

Ok, your question of the day from me is about the doves. Do you eat them? Use them for training both while actively hunting and then as freezer birds?

Yes we ate them, this was the first year I actually ate them. We just breast them out and then I put some flour and seasonings on them fried them in olive oil and butter. They were nice tender little morsels. The hunting was a training experience as the dogs have to sit quietly and not break which is hard since the action is happening right in front of them and the birds land so close to them. They are little so sometimes hard to find.

Have a great weekend, this weekend Glory and I will be going to the American Chesapeake Club supported show. This is the first time we have ever attended a show like this. It should be a lot of fun hanging out with many different Chesapeake people and their dogs. There are 11 females in the ring together so major points will be awarded. Please say a good luck prayer for Miss Gloryous.
