Keep in mind you do have a new hunting dog that is counting
on you to shoot birds for her for the next decade or so.

She's spectacular. My wife does the handling at Puppy Kindergarten
and she & Kaylin were in the ring for the first class when the
instructor placed several items of "distraction" around the ring.
She put out umbrellas, metal fence parts, a singing frog, a monkey
clashing cymbals and a stuffed duck. Kaylin made a beeline for the
duck, picked it up ever so gently and trotted all the way across
the ring to deposit it right at my feet. My wife said my beaming
smile could have lit up a small city. No training at all, 13 weeks
old and she knows just what to do with a duck.

My wife says Kaylin has her Daddy wrapped around her little paws
but I don't see anything on her paws. ;-)

No hunting for Kaylin this season, she'll only be six months old.
We'll do basic obedience first and foremost then start training to
the gun at a year old next spring. Hopefully she'll be ready to
hunt in Fall 2009. And I'll be there to shoot the birds for her.

Ken, I'm truly saddened to hear this. I wish you a successful battle
and a speedy recovery.

damn, Ken. Sorry to hear that, and apologies for my late response. I hope
you are out and about quickly!

My remission went into remission and the kidney disease returned
with a vengeance. Actually, it's more of an auto-immune disease with
my kidneys being the innocent victims. Since the first course of
chemo didn't work I started a different one today. Naturally, if
I need it and it's expensive, the insurance won't pay for it, but
that's a worry for another day. I finally got a dose of Rituximab
today over the course of seven-and-half-hours with an IV in my arm.

I have no doubt that something that the insurance company refuses to
pay for will be exactly the thing to actually work. You'll be better
in no time.


I'd dearly love to hit the stream tomorrow with riverman and the
gear whore but I'm afraid I'm a little too pooped.

I am going to get out eventually though, perhaps as soon as this
weekend and me & the new puppy will fish, camp and canoe until I
have to do it all again. TR to follow.


I'm taking our Jack Russell canoeing with me tomorrow. Should be
interesting.


Take care.

Sorry for the late reply Kenny, but I don't hang out here daily as I
used to...in any event, I'm very sorry to hear of your health problem,
hang in there. You're too damned ornery to get waylaid this early in the
game. Who loves ya baby?

Thanks Frank, and thanks to all.

There's nothing like a trip to the chemo ward to put things
in perspective. Compared to some of the folks I met there my
situation is damn near trivial. And the amazing thing is how
happy they are ! Not a grump or a grumble or even a trace of
self pity in the whole place. You'll not meet a more gregarious,
outgoing and pleasant group of folks outside of a roff Clave.
It's an amazing thing when folks keep hope alive.

I think this stuff I'm on now is the ticket. Dave Snedeker is
right, as usual, this is some wicked powerful ****. No way I
could have got out this weekend but I'm just ornery enough to
get out there soon.

Glad to hear it. With the Anheuser-Busch situation, you'll be having less
use for those kidneys anyhow, so you have time for a little break while you
recover.

All the swill beer didn't affect his kidneys, it affected his liver
and brain (which are one and the same).
