I had a brief discussion with a friend yesterday concerning ticks. She was kind enough to alert me to a report from her husband’s doctor concerning the rise of Lyme’s Disease and Lyme’s Disease-carry ticks and that upland hunters need to be more careful than ever in preventing a tick bite both on themselves and [...]

Lots of Excitement Today
Posted by LML on August 30th, 2010
It was a rather busy Monday and it is far from over as I am just settling in for round 2! The weather was a dreadful 89 degrees today here. YUCK! Just awful for the kids going back to school in no air-conditioning, wouldn’t you say? I have lots of homework being it was the [...]
Countdowns, Deadlines, and Milestones
Posted by LML on August 29th, 2010
Upland bird hunters everywhere are anxiously anticipating opening upland game seasons. For many that could be in as little as 3 days, for some 2 weeks, and others a month or more. Along with the excitement of the opening day, comes the realization that you may either need more gear and supplies, you still haven’t [...]
Let the Picking Begin!
Posted by LML on August 26th, 2010
The pups are 6-weeks old today. All checked out by the vet and good to go. Now, the hard part… who will pick who? The first pick of males is: Snake! A gem with gusto, a great nose, style, class, a lovely personality. Snake will stay Snake and be staying locally. Congratulations to the Pearson [...]
An Excellent, Inspiring Web Site on Cooking Real Food
Posted by LML on August 20th, 2010
I don’t cook much anymore. I used to love to cook and was pretty good at it, too. I was even a line chef in what seems like another life. But the short of the long story is that I just don’t have the time, the resources, or the kitchen to lately. But I miss [...]
What Shall We Work on This Evening?
Posted by LML on June 23rd, 2010
Well, it looks like we may get rained out of dog-working activities this evening. We’ll see, maybe it will go away and I can bust out of here. Ha ha. I can be optimistic, can’t I? Share on Facebook
Boone
Posted by LML on June 20th, 2010
I have no idea why it seems I don’t talk more about this dog, Boone (as in Daniel Boone). This dog has been a joy since his birth in 2007. He is out of our lovely Shay and Luke and brother (full litter-mate) to Maddie (the beautiful, bold, stylish chestnut), Midge (my right-hand tri-color, twin-of-Luke, [...]
Dreaming of That Northern Place…
Posted by LML on June 19th, 2010
I keep looking for and drumming up just about any excuse I can to leave for that special “Northern Place” earlier and earlier. Couldn’t I go now? After all, it’s cooler there–a little bit, anyway. See: Here: And… this says we were to have a high of 83 today, but that just can’t be correct! [...]
Thanks to Bella’s (Tori) Dad, Keith
Posted by LML on June 19th, 2010
I received this beautiful carving by Wendy Lichensteiger from a puppy customer, Keith Szalankiewicz. I have it on my desk and hanging behind it is the taxidermy Woodcock from Rodger and Sally Barveld. I have quite a lovely collection of upland birds started! Wendy does beautiful work, see more of her stuff, here. I absolutely [...]
Update June 15th, 2010
Posted by LML on June 15th, 2010
Gosh, can you believe it really is June 15th, already? Blink. It’s gone! Well, we’ve been busy bees–as I am sure everyone is this time of year. So what have I been up to with bird dogs? Well, a lot… or as much as I possibly can. I have been trying to run dogs both [...]
