Duck season, freeze-up & a pup

[Jim Boyer]

Duck season was "frozen out" early and my two boats are stored for the winter, but a new pup has taken up the slack.

Pounce just turned 6 months old and training is taking on a more formal approach. Fortunately, this year's December winter in northern Illinois has not begun to cover the ground with snow.

She's already into a stable sit which means I can walk out from the "line" and throw a mark. She'll sit until I release her.

I had a camera with me in a recent training session. During a setup of throwing walking singles, my Canon (with a telephoto lens) captured these two photos in "burst mode".....steady and intensity a split second apart. She's a "keeper"!

It sure is fun to watch them grow, isn't it?

I have a ten month old bundle of joy in our home to contend with these days. Other than a little incident with a puppy vs sofa armrest, we're pretty sure she's a keeper too.

Thanks for sharing that great sequence of pics.

Jim, it was good to see Pounce again. What a great looking pup and so full of that "right" kind of energy! Good job, sir.
