Really all I need is more crap to carry in my boat. I normally just put her on her dog stand, I had it with me, I should have used it. Normally if she is in boat, she sits on my center bench and can launch after bird from either side of boat.

Sorry to hear about this Guy. Hope she gets well soon.

She's a trouper, I'm sure she will be back to hunting in no time. Definitely one of the best hunting dogs out there. This is still my all time favorite picture of her.

Great picture.

How my Grand Pup doing??? hate to see that injury...could have been the prop but also anything just below the surface.. I saw a stump the other day that had 4 different blades in it..all aluminum that had broke off from peoples props...That stump when the lake is at normal level is just below the surface

Dammit man, sorry to hear that. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Beautiful photo

Took her in for checkup yesterday, doc said she is doing great and looks like she should for sure be able to hunt this season. Take her back in one week to get stitches out, doc will be able to give me better idea when she can hunt. I'm pretty excited to get her back, doc used the word "miracle" with her recovery. Still got my fingers crossed lol.

I know you must be missing what she brings to the blind. Sounds like as good of news as you could hope for.

Woohoo! Awesome news!

Took her in to get stitches out, doc said she looks perfectly healed and I can take her hunting just maybe take a little easy, 2 more weeks and she is completely out of the woods. Sure am glad to get her back. I learned good lesson on that prop.

That's awesome news Guy! Congrats!

Happy times for the both of you and just in time to get Tara out before the first split ends.

Great news.

Good news. Now we just need more birds

Great picture and news on Tara's recovery

Glad Tara has healed up so fast. Even better as it looks to be a full recovery.

I understand our dogs are hunting tools but I’m surely you are like I am - they are a family member don’t rush it - my little Cocker had necrosis of the hip at nine months old she’s six now tour muscle but I’ve been hunting her as well probably shouldn’t but she’s doing better

I view my dog as family and hunting buddy, not a tool. Part of hunting for me is camping, and love having her with me. This weekend we did not even hunt, just camped and scouted. Really tho even if you consider your dog as a tool, you need to take care of your tools. Or it will cost you, this one was $650. But her injuries now, you can barely see a scare.
