    Not fun being on the news....dog almost died

    I used to leave the drivers window open as well but Cash would jump out of the window. Had it cracked enough to reach the lock button if he locked the door while I was launching. By the time I could get my hand on the door the water was almost to the window and the water pressure wouldn't let me...

    Not fun being on the news....dog almost died

    For those wanting an update on Cash, he is more like himself today. He didn't eat much Sunday or Monday and the vet suggested adding some cooked ground beef and white rice to his food. Fried egg, canned pumpkin, didn't work. He gobbled up the beef and rice with his Pro Plan. No pneumonia cough...

    Not fun being on the news....dog almost died

    Two of my hunting buddies are brothers and one welds. Going to have him weld a D ring on the angled portion of my hitch bar and told him to do the same. Make it easy to clip the rope to and remove the chocks. My car insurance is Progressive. They are covering a portion of Cash's vet bill. Less...

    Great idea about the lines Steve. I have a pair of heavy rubber ones from Harbor Freight that I can set up a line system on......when I can replace my vehicle which might not be for a while. Thanks for the idea. This was basically a season ender for us. Cash is on light duty for 2 weeks and no...

    Need help/opinions from those familiar with black ducks

    Connecticut has said, I think this year, it goes on your black duck limit, not mallard, not generic duck.

    Not fun being on the news....dog almost died

    Dry ramp.... backed down, keeping the rear tires on the dry concrete, put it in park and set the brake. I never let the dog(s) out of the vehicle until the boat is launched and the vehicle parked. I pushed the boat off of the trailer and was pulling the boat to the side when the vehicle just...

    Not fun being on the news....dog almost died

    I can't rehash the details yet again but if it wasn't for my hunting partner having an axe in his vehicle that I used to break out the rear window, Stacey and I wouldn't be nursing Cash back to health today. He has some pneumonia and is on some antibiotics and liver medicine. Miracles do happen...

    With a shattered heart

    My condolences to his wife and family. Very tragic. I never met Steve but through this website I got to know him years ago. As I recall he was in sales and traveled a lot. He would bring supplies with him and carve decoys in his hotel room. I think his posts about carving is where the term BSC...

    Ever kick a guy out of your group because he's too cheap?

    Oh yeah Dave, I have my own financial issues. You are a machinist, correct, from what I've gathered over the years? At 56, in CT, if I was a machinist I could find work. I'm a manager in a specific industry. I lost my last job to a kid still in school because the owner was looking to cut costs...

    Nothing formal about it. We duck hunted a few times last year and he just assumes he's in for next week. He invited himself porgy/fluke fishing over the summer. Brought ingredients for vodka tonics but I needed gas money for the boat and my tow vehicle. The other invited guy threw me a 20

    Oh, and HA.... if I do take him for ducks and he tries to bum ammo, his gun only shoots 2-3/4 inch. Biggest problem is going to be his attitude if he has to pay to play.... won't even want him in the boat.
