NEW PUP! Resistance was futile.
Dog folks are a curious bunch. No matter how many dogs they currently have and how happy they are with them, thoughts of the "next dog" still pop up from time to time. For Lisa and me our next dog is an ongoing conversation since we are constantly exposed to dangerous levels of puppy cuteness. After all, in our travels, we often meet with top breeders and handlers of all sort of dogs and many of them offer us a pup at some point. So we'd probably have a dog or two from every pointing breed in the world if our credit cards could handle it.
But somehow, we usually manage to resist temptation. We've always been lucky enough to keep just enough dog power to cover our hunting needs and keep us warm on cold Manitoba nights.
But last May, Henri died.
His passing left a massive hole in our hearts and massive shoes to fill. We were suddenly down to two ancient gundogs: Souris nearly 16 and Uma 12. Sure, we had other dogs we could borrow to hunt with when needed. But when the season ended, we were left with a nagging void around the house.

And say hello to Léo!

what a cutie. Good for you!
Re: NEW PUP! Resistance was futile.
That's a cutie. ( Excellent article.)
I was at the Animal Care Centre yesterday to get the dog licenses. I made SURE I didn't look at any of the dogs or new pups that had just come in. I'm sticking to 2 dogs - hopefully that won't be " famous last words ".
