I had a Brittany when I got married and when she died I went a real long time with out a dog but I had decided I wanted to retire a young man and started working 7 days a week 12 & 14 hour days so didn't have time to miss a dog. about 94 I think the wife said the son wanted a dog I told her no as he would tire of caring for one quickly just like the rabbits hamsters and gini pigs. She got him a chocolate lab and within two weeks as predicted the wife was caring for her. in 2000 wife wanted a dog of her own and got a springer a hard headed male that if let out loose would take off and come back when ever he got ready to. He became my check cord baby. Wife try's again 2001 when a friend of hers tells her about Visula a run of the litter a rescue had gotten. She was a hunting fool of a dog to expensive for my blood to buy one today. Then I got my own yellow lab mix from a friend of a friends who had let his lab out when in heat without watching over her.

I bought my UP deer camp November 1991, Retired at 55 April 1st. 2001

My Daisy died June of 2013, Told wife no more dogs for me. I found my morning walks were hit and miss evening walks most days never happened. In August I got a pound pup Lily. Now I do early morning short walk, a long walk at 10:00 am for at least a hour and an evening walk about a hour before sunset and is fun watching The pup hunt a bit.
