Sammy's Great Weekend
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 6:16 pm
My little guy had an awesome weekend and I am as happy as I can possibly be.
Yesterday we ran in our second horseback field trial (DelVal Brittany at the English Setter club in NJ). Unlike 2 weeks ago, Sammy payed no attention to the fact that I was on a horse and did his thing. Despite being handicapped by having me as his handler, he went out and got it done. He placed 1st out of 8 great puppies. I was am so proud of him. A big thanks to everyone who posts here for your tips. Sammy and I owe a lot to Joe, Marsha, Pete, Karen, Gary and all of our new friends at Water and Wings for their help and encouragement.
Today we took Sammy hunting for the first time and introduced him to the shotgun. We went to a preserve and they put out 2 pheasants for us. Sammy pointed 3 birds and I shot 2 of them. He had a blast. We just finished eating the birds and I couldn't help but to log-on do some bragging on Sammy's behalf.
I hope everyone here has a weekend like mine real soon.
