It
is time to get ready for bird season. The young woodcock and grouse of the year are old enough to fly, so we have been running the dogs in the woods with their
bells on. Maggie, our youngest, is showing her smarts and acting like a
champion. The older girl, Colby, still likes to show off and finds her share of
birds, but her older joints have slowed her down some. It brings great joy to see them pointing side by side.
It
is important to get the dogs in shape, and us too. One of the important things is make certain dog's toenails are ready for hard running. Here is an excellent
link that shows proper trimming.

The
shotgun needs to get some serious use too, to freshen up the muscle memory. It
has been way too long. Boots are new and broken in, and there are plenty of
shotgun shells on the shelf. Maybe the Filson pants need new wax.
