We are babysitting my in-laws Brittany. Our house is not bird dog proof. She got into some of my feathers yesterday. She likes starling and high quality metz grizzly capes. Thought ya’ll might get a chuckle.
Kind-of hard to reprimand an animal for doing what it was bread for. However, I would have a bill for the feathers ready for the in-laws when they pick up their dog.
My pointer got into my materials not too long ago. Got into three of my capes. Someone told me I needed to train her to ‘sort by size’. ;D
Mae (the setter) has been known to point my tying desk after I’ve had materials open.
This reminds me – I need to repackage my home-prepared capes; they are leaking onto the folders (greasy).
Classic . . . Scott. Although I get grumpy when my dog goes “shopping” in the feathers, I secretly chuckle because it somehow seems to be a natural act. However, my little white dog once got in my green saltwater cape and we found her with a green face for a few days later.
I bet you have been tying a lot lately with the water conditions on your local waters being so out of whack?
Beautiful Brittany, btw. I have never seen one that dark – most of the ones I have been around are more copper than liver. Is it a particular breed?
Not that I know of Zach. See’s just a beautifully marked dog. It’s a shame she’s only a pet and is not worked.
This reminds me – I need to repackage my home-prepared capes; they are leaking onto the folders (greasy). Salt will do wonders to prevent decay but it can’t dry a hide beyond a certain point.
If you can find some Borax Soap powder, Zach, it’ll dry anything out.
Funny stories. I like the idea of sorting by size. Neal, I’ve not been tying like I should. Been messing with the poppers.
