[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1716726, member: 40335"] Uplandnut !!! Diffinately a bird hunter alright. Know what you mean Kenny. I would be too if i knew where any were. The reason i was asking is because someone had dropped a pup off where i work at. There are only a few of us who work at the location the pup was dropped. None of us needed or let alone wanted it. We all thought eventually it would move on to look for a home. But that didn't happen. Thought maybe it was too stupid to look for a home. After a couple of weeks one of the guys I work got to feeling sorry for it and bought it a sack of cheap dog food. It was already pretty skinny looking. The rest of us thought our co worker was going to take it home with him. That he was just too soft hearted to watch that poor pup starve to death. Problem solved or thought it was until 6 more weeks went by and the co worker bought 2 more sacks of dog food. The co worker done his best to find it a home. He lived in an apartment complex that didn't allow pets. So almost 3 months went by. And the pup was looking worse. So one day I loaded it up, hauled it 2 miles down the road where there were houses, other dogs. Thought it would find a good home there. Went back to the office. About 3 hours latter went to get in my truck and there was that damn dog sitting by my truck wagging its tail. So we were fixing to have alot of construction work done at that location. We all thought it would for sure get ran over once the construction started. Was telling my wife this story and she immediately said she wanted the pup to bring it home. Told her we already had a Jack Russell, Blue Heeler, 4 Cats and the last thing we needed was another dog and I wasn't bringing it home. Wasn't a few days semi trucks started trucking in equipment to start the construction and the few of us that work there got to trying to shame one another into taking the pup. So i was talking to one of my co workers about how good of a pet it would make for his family and how much his 6 year old kids and wife would enjoy the pup and all. But he said he would like to do that but he had seen a couple of male dogs trying to mate with the pup and thought it might have pups before too much longer. Even though he had just seen that happen. The thought of it getting run over and it having a litter of pups that it sure didn't need got to bothering me. The more I would think about it. So i told the wife about it. Of course her solution was to bring it home and make a pet out of it. Knew that's what she would say before i mentioned it. We live in the country but there is a lightly traveled road. Told my wife that we would give it a home on the condition that we let it run loose and it had to be taken to the vet and get spade, all it's Shots and put on this flea and tick pill we have our other dogs on. Wife was more than fine with that. Said she would sit up an appointment with the vet. I have owned alot of hunting dogs over the years and kept most of them in kennels. That's not a good life for animal. Told the wife that and had rather the dog take a chance of getting ran over than it living out its life in a kennel.

A few days latter the wife ask me when we were going to go pick up Lucky. I was watching TV when she ask and didn't know what she was talking about at first. Ask her who was named Lucky ? She laughed and said " The new pup ! " Said she had been telling the women she works with about the pup and was going to name it Lucky because it was Lucky I liked it !!! I toldt he wife she was bad wrong about that part.
