Well, Katie is nearly nine years old, and I don't have any decent photos of her pointing. So I decided Friday to take her and the black dog out for a walk on Friday in the hopes of getting a picture or two of her pointing a woodcock. We were able to accomplish that mission, and here are a couple of those pics. Can you spot the woodcock in the photos?The good news was that we were also able to get the big dorky black dog to do a "sit, stay" during this whole process. Who knows, maybe I will someday train him to be my grouse retrieving backup dog for grouse hunts.
Bad news. Moments after these pics were taken she pulled up lame, and the preliminary diagnosis from our vet yesterday is that she's likely torn her ACL. Anyway, here we go . . . . I'm going to try and get her into the surgeon's office Monday for anesthesia and a more precise diagnosis. I'll probably also be calling Al Stewart in Michigan to enquire about that litter of pups Safari Jim told me about.
Anyway, keep your fingers crossed.
