Things That Bug You in the Field
I was sitting around a few days ago with some non-hunting pals of mine and one asked me what I found most dangerous or annoying when I was hunting or training the dog. Bears, he suggested? Nope. Haven’t seen a bear since I quit hunting ruffed grouse in the northwoods 30 years ago. Snakes, maybe? Not in my part of the country. All the snakes here are benign. Mud? Nah, that’s just something you deal with. “Well, what then,” he asked? The answer is simple. Bugs! There are things out there whose thirst for human blood transcends mine for fine wine and medium rare Chateaubriand or Maine lobster.

Trouble Across The Pond
By Amy Fernandez As we know, things haven’t been going too great over at AKC lately. Not much to be done about that, but I’m here to get your mind off it. And what better remedy for that than a nice big scandal-totally unrelated to our current situation. And they got a good one brewing […]
Do Your Job
Like it or not, football season is upon us. Here in New England (humbly known as “Titletown”) it’s a very serious endeavor, and it’s common to see handlers sporting Patriot’s jerseys under their suit jackets on Super Bowl Sunday. At least during the years the Patriots are in it. Which is most of them. (Sorry, not sorry).
