Keith, you are so right about the "pleasures" of having a puppy along. It certainly cuts into your hunting time, not to mention your sleeping time  but it also adds to your great memories of what I'm sure will be a special dog -- as all of them are in their own way.
You get to cherish the little things, like teaching the pup to drink from a bottle...which will come in handy on hunts in the future.
So much to do!
