Griper isnt it amazing with animals.. I was watching the channel My 32 last night here in Green Bay WI.

An area fellow took his dog bird hunting along the Snake River

standing over master the whole time.
Yep animals are special! That is why I spoil mine!
Someone asked me if my well behaved dog was trained and by who?
I said yes isn't she wonderful she was trained spoiled by me!
It was one of those pet store people that can't wait to get their hands on your dog!
