Bill,
I have the exact same couch as you do . Brown leather with a quilt/blanket on the cushions and it's covered with bird dogs. In my case there GSP. I had to buy an extra chair so I would have a place to sit .
When I die I hope to come back as a bird dog for a Parker owner...a small bore Parker owner that is .
By the way where is Curran, MI?

Richard,
Bill shares his couch with Judy and Parker. I get the chair! Curran is in the north east part of Michigan. It is about an hour west and south of Alpena. Alpena is right on Lake Huron. Hope that helps! Bill absolutely loves and spoils his two girls. He almost never goes anywhere with out them. He would take great care of you when you come back as a bird dog and take you hunting with his Parker often.
Take Care.
Noel

Richard,
Noel has never had to sit in the Chair, I have Pictures to prove it. Does this picture look like there is any room for me?

Dear Bill who: Let's see, cozy warm couch with Noel and treats or... in the snow and woods with heaven knows what that might be available to eat chasing around with some guy and his gun - Bill who indeed.
Here's CHARLIE on one of those rare moments she's not chewin', scratchin, diggin', jumpin', runnin', barkin'...........all said and done she's still not annoyin'. She seems very smart. Picks up on the basics quickly. Came to us at 18 pounds. Today, she's 24 pounds. I took her out of town and she is curious and cautious. She negotiates the snow well, whereas I left the snowshoes at home and just kept breaking through. Made for tough hiking. Can't hang them up yet.
Cheers,
Jack

Thanks, Jack! Charlie looks very happy and right at home. I have no doubt she will be a loyal companion and an excellent bird dog.
Noel

Jack,
Charlie is adorable. I told my Son Pat about your American Eskimo. He was amazed. He is now rethinking his own (Caine). The only problem with his is the dog gets very territorial.

Bill: Here's a few of FOXY in the field to share with Pat. Images taken over the years. She passed last September at approx 14 years (she was from the humane society and guessed to be about 4 years when we took her in). She had one season before we took in TAZ and one season after TAZ passed. As well, one season TAZ had a cruciate ligament surgery, so he missed most of that one. Each, in their own right, was a good bird dog. In tandem, they were amazing. I'm happy to have been a part of a memorable team. CHARLIE has big paws to fill but no pressure. Most days are "off season" so it's more about enjoying life every day and having a ball during bird season. Cheers, Jack

"Tis a rare late version prototype that never made it to production. No one thought it would catch on. It remains my back-up but at that time it was my go to gun, while the search was on to replace my blown up family VH. I was 5 years Parkerless which was remedied last fall.
Cheers,
Jack

| I heard from a guy, that his neighbors grampa worked for Remington as an accountant back in the day...the real reason Remington took over Parker was to keep that design off the market.

Bill,
Noel reminds me of the wife Audrey. She sits in the middle of the couch and has a dog on each side of her and one usually wiggles onto her lap.
Crazy Daisy and Gunner are at my side as I type, its as if they know I'm on the Parker site.
With 4 GSP'S a place to sit that isn't being shared with a canine companion is a rare occurance....and a lonely one.

Richard: Here's one of TAZ on the trail. His nose was often calloused and occasionally reddened because he just never stopped. During or off season, this was his typical look. Would love to see some pics of your GSP's.
Cheers,
Jack

CHARLIE's growing up. She's now 35 pounds, double her weight from the humane society. According to her vet, she is also a full month younger than was estimated, which makes her now around 4 1/2 months. Just starting to lose a couple of those needle teeth. Most our walks have been in parks trying to socialize with people and other dogs. She is pretty well socialized now and has been getting some solo country hikes.
We stumbled into this area when we went to an airshow. She got a break from the kennel and just got into checking out the good smells. I never saw anything but she wanted to hang around the area, so I just stood around watching her sniff the world.
I'm not sure if she can read but she stayed outside the fence here.
Cheers, Jack

CHARLIE - Taking a break on a 7 hour road trip. It's spring but when a girl gets her first blaze orange harness - birdiness follows.
