BilletHead Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 You have heard of goldens, Labradors in chocolate and black and others but I have one of those gray retrievers. She came with a pretty poor background but easy to train. Started out hard headed but has mellowed with age. I even caught her in action this morning. She even ran down a cripple. Does not like it when she cannot touch the bottom so it was a dry land circle around the pond to the other side to avoid the deep water . Always alert, good set of eyes and can mark multiple downed birds. She sees birds in the air before I do and tells me where they are! She will get an extra biscuit tonight too. A wonderful sunrise greeted the day, Not a bad when we decided to call it quits with 7 mallards 6 drakes and one hen. Three gadwall finished up the pile. No excuse we should of had our other mallard. Mrs. BilletHead breaking down the blinds. She did a good job grassing them up as I felt the most hidden we have been this season.

We like to sleep cool. There is a mattress warmer under us and an electric blanket on top. Hard to describe but get a really good nights sleep. The first night in the spring when it gets in the mid seventies and humid I am done and inside for the summer with the AC. When it gets below fifteen I have to put on a stocking hat. We have done single digit nights. Look out the screen and see the stars, awaken to coyotes singing, owls hooting. for blowing rain we drop a faux bamboo shades. For a dry fine snow you can feel it. Our old dog Sadie sleeps on her bed and Pat covers her. She stays under the covers all night. We have put her into the house a few times because of the rain and bitter cold. She cries when we do that. The dog not Pat . We have been told we are nuts, crazy and stupid. I say try it once before you say that.

fishinwrench Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Nothing wrong with breathing cool fresh air all night for a good night's sleep. We have a real nice hammock on our deck and I'll sleep in it out there if it stays warmer than 45-50° BilletHead 1
