since Lick needed some continuing blood workups (age is getting the best of her) the vet's is close to the Stoughton field trial grounds and with gas prices so high - trained Daisy and Kooly = ran two tough water singles on the technical pond (stickmen, mallards, remote wingers with 209 primer reports and both at about 180 yds from different lines) note: Daisy marked each well, long swims and did not cheat the shore note: Kooly lined the one on the left, but got thrown off course on the way to the water by something in the lunging water that "grabbed him" before the entry, needed to handled back to the correct line (ok after that) moved to the bigger pond and ran a meaty "down the shore" double = memory bird long entry & another hefty swim while the "go bird" was very "cheaty" (175 & 100 yds) note: Daisy was as straight as an arrow, excellent double with good memory (heat cycle issues are over - whew!) note: Kooly nailed each mark, but he took a huge banana swim right to the memory bird note: this was a "feel good" training day, ponds way out of their banks for a much different look & a lot of lunging water leading up to the normal pond shorelines, both dogs were relaxed and ready, the grass was greened up and lush, sunny with a good breeze that kept the "nasty" little Stoughton black gnats at bay, just a gorgeous afternoon The telephoto lens pictures are of single #1, single #2 and the double "down the shore"

Very nice! I was wondering if you were still alive. Haven't heard much from you in a while. Jay
