Nothing is sweeter than a boy and his dog...

New Addition to the Family & Jasons First Kill at the Property

In November we took a family trip to Arkansas to go duck hunting at a friends farm. While we were there, we met "Wendy", who had been abandoned. Wendy was taken out for a trial hunt by Wendell, and she worked well for him retrieving ducks. I had been wanting another dog for almost two years since Prissy had passed away, and Jason agreed to ask Wendell if we could take her home. Wendell agreed that she could use a home with kids, and soon Wendy was on her way home with us to Missouri. We found out when we got home that Wendy is about 2 years old and we are hoping that she can be healthy and ready for duck season for next fall.

After several trips to the Mississippi to hunt geese, Jason decided to head up to the property to give goose hunting a try there. Emma and Logan and I saw a few geese the week before in the field and had told Jason about them. The first trip was unsucessful, he saw many but shot none. The second trip was much shorter and produced a goose nearly as big as Wendy.
