bullmastiff 615 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) Had a poker night out on a mates farm last weekend, his missus did a mean curry and I managed to win my money back and between us we managed to polish off all his whiskey supplies! next morning, breakfast down we head out to do a bit of pest control. He's been having trouble from starlings and herring gulls (from the local tip) eating the cows maize, he's tried scaring them off but nothing was working so out with the shotties. Cut a long story short we were having a great day of it until my spanial (who's now 16 and deaf) lost sight of me and decided to try and track me following my scent but unfortunatly ran the wrong way! phone call later and he's turned up at the farm house been dried, fed and was asleep in front of the rayburn (no use getting older if you don't get smarter!! :11: ) so that left us with only one dog, the bullie, who does try her best but a spanial she aint!!! Bless her if she don't step up and started working like a demon! obviously she just hasn't wanted to embaress the old fella!! then to top it off the lad that came with us gets his first bird and Tia retrieves it!! (bit mangled but most things are when they go through that maw). We took a lad from the pub who had never been shooting (turned up in white trousers!! ) and the farmers son out with us and they both loved it so two new converts to our cause! So all in all it was a great weekend! a few pics of the day Teal working the river Both dogs working Tia with her first retrieve!!! we setup a retrieve for her after and managed to get a video clip of it but it doesn't seem to want to let me post the link?
