Old girl’s last hunt

[Badger Matt]

Good ol' Brandy girl had her last duck hunt today. She's now officially retired from the marsh, though she'll join me on an occasional preserve hunt where her younger brother, a Setter named Archie, will take the lead. Why is she retired? She made me fetch the ducks today.

" She made me fetch the ducks today ".

It might have taken her awhile , but she finally learned.

Nice dog by the way.

I'll bet she has earned a pleasant retirement.

And they say you can't teach old dogs new tricks. She deserves a good retirement.

Hey, the water was cold. Give the lady a break. She deserves it.

Dogs are the best! Nice pic and story.

That is great and a fine looking dog, I hope that she has a wonderful time being the Grand Old Dog of the household!

now that is neat, good for you and for her,,,,,,,, ,

and say hi to your neighbor, my nephew Mike J..........

Instead of retired she has been promoted to supervisor. She has you doing the fetching now. Pet her good and give her extra treats and tell her she is the best dog.

And they say humans are smarter than dogs....

There is nothing like a 4 legged hunting companion. Watching the retriever work was my reason to hunt. Sadly I don't have one now and new pup would probably outlive me.

And she looks like she's sad because of it.
