well just to keep you fine people posted on me and corona,, we went out today to this plase that I know hold phesant's, well we get there and right off the bat she takes off so she gets about 100yrds away and we all know that is just to far,, she stops turns around runs back to me to make a long story short for the next five or so hours she stayed right around 30yrds in front of me, now keep in mind she hasent been in the field for over a year, and the training i did do with her she was only three months to about five month old when I was forced to not be able to work with her anylonger, ok so she sented a bird found it pointed and then held her spot till I got right next to her and then told her to find it and she flushed it like we've been doing it for years, she did that consistently on over fifteen birds, I was so proud today, and it makes me think that she was just waiting for the day when her and I would venture back into the field so she could show me that she never for got what we learned together as her master, friend,companion and teacher, I have finnaly realized that not only have I been teaching her but she has actualy been teaching me, I have always loved and respected my dog but today was the day she opened my eyes and i realize that she is and always be my best friend..
