Training time.

Ok, the time is nearing when we bump up training- do more bird and field work.
Since the training is now going to be more than walk, lets be ready. One important item that is often overlooked is a first aid kit. One kit, can be used for both human and pet. I usually get the medium priced kit and add a few extras. A few things I add to the kit are- tweezers, eyewash, vetwraps, icepack, towel, pedoilyte, baby food(meat).
Inside the cover of the kit, I will put my information such as address and phone#. Along with the dogs name, updated records, contact and vet number. I am sure there are a few things I could add. What else do you carry?
Oops, almost forgot this one- copenhagen for insect stings.

Good tips, who chews the copenhagen, you or the dog ?

A few years back I was hunting in NE and we were working a ditch, to make a long story short, a roosters busts on the fence line and a few shots and down it goes. The dog is right on the bird, he fetches it and starts his way back to me. We are in chest high grass, so I can’t see the dog, all of a sudden I get a glimps of him and he is covered in blood, all over his neck and chest. I thought for sure he cut his neck on the barbs on the fench, talk about freak out, I was very worried when I first saw him. After looking the dog over very good, it was the tip of his ear that got the barb, man do those things bleed. Anyway after that I started to bring along tripple antibodic and starry strips.

After Saturday’s mishap, for those of us with contact lenses, put in an extra set of lenses and some saline. Nothing like being hours from home with one working lens.
