Java's First Bird

Brad Slaybaugh called today and they were training not too far from home. The only problem was getting there. Packing for a new puppy and dog is like having a new baby and all the stuff you need to have. You know, everything is in the other car, etc. By the time we'd gotten there, they were leaving. Brad was in the driveway and I took out Java to show him. He went and got a pigeon out and proceeded to entice Java into retrieving the bird. Java loved it and proved that she knew her granddaddy was a Master Pointing Retriever. I was impressed at how "Birdie" she was. That was so good to see. Boy am I lucky to have Brad as a friend. He is SOOOO good with the puppies. In fact, he has a gorgeous new yellow lab puppy named Callie that was born on the same day. This should be fun training them together.
