Day 14

Welcome to the New Guy.

Today the HOY7 hunting Team got a new member in the form of a chocolate retrieving machine. This is Clyde. After some careful thought Rick decided that we would not shoot his dog by accident and brought Clyde along for the ride that is the HOY7 hunting team expierence. He seemed to make the walk out to the old old spot without any complaints and made himself right at home in the rainy but mild confines of the blind. After some time familiarizing himself with the procedures he settled into a routine of wondering why we brought him in the first place. As Clyde looked to the skies for all the downed ducks he had heard so much about I can't help but wonder if he thinks we are the best. You see, we KNOW we are the best but sometimes the workings of the dog brain are beyond even our stellar abilities to figure.

Clyde did get to take a walk around with each team member where he showed his ability to be a 'Good Dog'. I think we all agree that Clyde is welcome on any H7HT excursion, ducks or not. At the end of the day he even helped pull in the blocks without a single complaint. In fact he seemed to enjoy the whole day even though the reward of a live duck retrieve was not in the cards. Don't worry Clyde, next time we will fold faster than Superman on laundry day.

(Note to all you PETA members that read this blog on a regular basis. This photo does not represent Clydes diet for the day. Not only is it immoral to give your dog some tasty, delicious, ohhh so good, nectar-like, wonderful wikki it is also not good for the retrieving skills. Don't think he didn't want to, he is a member of the HOY7 hunting team, but his attempt at stealing Freds was foiled. Dogs can't operate screw caps. Sorry boy.)
