Corey Ford's "The Road to Tinkhamtown"

The influx of hunters in woods where there once was more solitude and a man could call them "his" coverts are probably a direct result of the annual increase in posted land down state and elsewhere.

Dean, it is more a direct result of no birds south of the Notch. We really do not suffer much yet from extensive posted land here, just not may birds, which is a result of lack of habitat. When I was a youth we had great bird hunting here in Gilford, but the fields and apple orchards are now either mature woods or houses.

This just in...

These are the nine Twombly Setter littermates. Grace, my new pup, is on the far left. The one with two black eye-patches is "Maggie" and will be taken home to New York by a good friend of Rick Losey.

These are the sons and daughters of "Coronation's Duke of Earl" who starred in the Tinkhamtown video at the beginning of this thread.

amazing picture! how did you get them all to stand at the same time?

[Dean Romig]

I can't take responsibility Ed. This picture was taken by the breeder and owner of Coronation Kennel. These pups are so eager to play and for the next adventure. And they're such fun to watch it's almost a shame to separate them so soon.

Dean, she is a peach

puppy day is always a mix of joy and heart break, but it doesn't take them long to adjust.

My daughters both brought home litter mates the 4th of July (Golden Retrievers) the pups have both adjusted to running their new homes- but the pups got back together here this weekend for the first time in a couple weeks and turned right back to playing as if nothing had separated them.

OK- I see a post from Dean-

so how did puppy day go??

I was going to wait and just call you at 3 am to ask- figuring you will be up anyway

[Dean Romig]

Puppy day went (and is still going) very, very well.

Grace is just the sweetest little pup and doesn't seem to miss her litter mates much as long as we keep her occupied.

She has only peed on the floor here once and that was on the hardwood in the kitchen - not on any carpets.
