Harold ,Glad to hear the GOOD NEWS ! That had to be a long night ,Our Maggie and her Pup, Annie went missing a number of years ago ,we never knew what happened to them but always suspected foul play ,I thought they may have been picked up along the road while we were hunting ,they just sort of vanished ! Nearly two weeks later after we had advertised all over town about them a young neighbor Lady on her way to Church happened to see the PUP running in a local field and gave me a call ! Naturally ,I went right away and found the two of them , they were about five miles from home ,the PUP looked as if it never missed a meal or lost a minutes sleep and my Older Dog Maggie could barely walk ,her pads were worn down to raw stubs and her handsome Frame work of a normal 60 pounds was down to about 20 and she was stumbling along ! It appeared someone was taking rather good care of the Pup and was hoping the Mother would succumb to what appeared to be the inevitable ! If some one did take them ,they sure had it figured wrong ,Annie ,as nice as she is ,never turned out to be the Hunting Dog we had hoped and Maggie was that " Once in a Life Time " kind of Dog ,that could just seem to find Birds any where ! Well with that little story told ,I am sure Glad you got Betty back ,and it looks like that will always be quite a memorable hunt ! Russ
