HT Picture

We're been busy getting ready for our upcoming hunting trip! Journey's making a nuisance of himself since Mom brought out her gun to clean....he KNOWS its almost time.....the poor boy is acting like there is a girl in season around (and its NOT ME)....barely eating, following mom around like a lost puppy...the silly boy, i keep telling him she is NOT leaving without us....she NEEDS US! He's such a whiny baby.

Unfortunately Pheasant season doesn't Officially open until Monday the 20th, so we'll just be scouting for pheasants Sat & Sunday....but it will still be Grouse & Woodcock Season so that is what we'll be hunting Sat & Sunday! CANT WAIT! Look Out Birdiieess! We're coming to get you!!!

So the wonderful ladies at the Irish Setter club HT took pictures of all of us with Qualify Scores! Here is my picture. Its a little dark, mom said she'd fix that when we get our computer back up to speed on Thursday.

I'm sure there will be more pictures to post after our hunting weekend....You know Mom and her Camera....maybe she'll even figure the video thing out!

POINT!

Mom finally got off her keister and entered me in a Hunt Test on Saturday. She told me if i held my point (opposed to flushing my own bird just as mom gets within 2 feet of me) that she would shoot some birds for me and let me retrieve them! SO I was a good girl and held my point....i even let mom flush it and shoot it (altho she missed it) before i took off to bring the bird back. I still don't understand why she has to shoot them because I can bring them back just fine alive.

I got a cool Orange Ribbon and mom said my scores were awesome! All 9's and 1 8! So now i have 1 leg towards my JH. Hopefully we can do a few more HT this fall....but between real hunting and trying to finish my Championship mom said it doesn't leave a lot of weekends, so we may have to wait till spring.

Boy was my dad ticked off when mom took ME out 1st! We could hear him screaming the entire way around the course. Even grandma Sue yelling at him didn't shut him up. He was so mad that when it was his turn he blew mom off big time and got in BIG trouble! He is such a boy, always wanting it his way and to always be 1st. He just has to learn I am the Princess and I go 1st now!!!

We cannot wait for Pheasant Season! Only 2wks to go then we'll be OFF to the Lake for a weekend of BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS!!!!!!
