God Bless Stone and keep him close!

You were a remarkable owner for Stone and he was lucky to have found his way into your heart. My condolences.

If I remember correctly, he came out to train on our place before the Texas Grand a few years ago (maybe 2004?)

Those are really good looking puppies and Lake seems to be very proud. Be sure and update the puppy photos for those of us who can't smell the puppy breath in person.

We don't usually have an HRC fall test, the AKC fall test for our club is Oct 20 & 21. Sometimes we'll have a quad upland test in Dec. But the club hasn't discussed that yet this year.

When you come back in June be sure to bring some icepacks to freeze..it's going to be even hotter than it was this weekend! Thanks for all y'all did to make the test fun this weekend. I know how hard you worked!

We just not so formal around here, Mitch, I mean Mitchell. Besides you look like a "Mitch."

I hope you both got home safe and sound and are catching up on your sleep. You did a great job!
Thanks for the memories.

With all you guys coming west, be sure and send rain between now and the beginning of March this way especially to hit on the Kay Ranch, near Iola, TX! It would be nice to fill up the gravel pits there. It will be great to see you all!

Oh my what he and y'all have been through! I sure hope and pray that he has turned the corner for good and will get to being a happy, tailwagging, typically overactive, healthy dog soon!

Ah HA! that is who you are. We watched a couple of dogs run your double blind on Friday. We don't do FTs with our dogs but Dave really wanted to get Retta out to try those blinds. We regularly run very similar blinds when we train. I heard nothing but good things about your tests.

That's ok, maybe we'll cross paths again sometime. What were you busy doing? My other half ran Retta in Master A, Dog 18. He said it was funny to travel that far and run under a Texas judge and the Tennessee one apprenticed under us years ago. He did get a chance to visit for a bit with Brian Lewis,...

That AWS is a nice little dog. Really enjoyed watching him work. Proud to have been a judge on his title run on Sunday. I had seen one running at Big D's HRC test many years ago, but haven't seen another one since. Hope to see more going forward. Even though I am a Lab person myself, I really love t...

Just got home a little while ago. Sure enjoyed putting some real faces to the names I see from time to time. I enjoyed myself...food was really good and the marshalls, shooters, birdboys, blind planters were excellent! Thank you.

Condolences to all who knew Colt. He was quite the dog. I know there will be many memories to feed the stories for years to come. Here's hoping that those memories soon bring you smiles instead of the tears you shed now.

They are never with us long enough.

Thanks, all. We've been there before a few years back and I remember the nice grounds, just wasn't sure about access into the place, couldn't remember if there were low spots that might be under water with all that stuff, I think -y'all call it "rain," that you've been getting. Of course t...
