David, it certainly was great to meet and shoot with you and your daughter at Drakes this year. Hopefully, you can make it an annual event.
Had a little scare with momma Fancy and her pups, but all is well now. One pup was the runt of the litter, and did not appear that she was thriving, and Fancy, despite eating well seemed to be unable to stand or walk. She couldnt get out of the whelping box without being carried out, and would fall over when trying to pee. Started feeding the little one some replacement formula(for dogs) with a bottle, and packed up Fancy and the litter to our vet(Karl Yurko,DVM). After a day of IV's Fancy is back to normal, and happy to say the little female is doing great and feeding voraciously on her own. She is still much smaller than the other pups, but is healthy. Pups are 1 week old today, and are fat little piggies. Will post more pictures when ther eyes open and they are moving around more. I have my eye on a little tri-colr female.

I'm on the porch watching the sunrise and your story made me tear up. Dessa my Brittany is beside me she was 7 /2 days ago. For such a short time we have them. Had trigger finger surgery 2 weeks ago and going great. The Grant I bought at the Southern has given me some safety problems but have it sorted out to return home Monday. Along with the English is my new pride and joy a mint 1919 28 ga VHE 28" barrels all original out of Midland TX. So lucky to get from great granddaughter. Haven't even shot yet had to get a slight split in forensics repaired first. Finally a Parker 28 I can call my own. Best to you and your pups and mommy. I'm counting the days til dove season about 45 now.

I sent the deposit out today for a GSP pup that will be whelped in September. At 13 Daisy needs some help and I finally convinced the wife that I NEEDED another dog. Time will tick slowly from here on in.
