Well, well, well. I'm Back!

 Hey friends, it's me Bob D.

I'm back and ready to resume my position as the poster with the most-er.  Stay with me here as I get all of you up to date on the recent happening's, on new events and what I am about to drop on you.  

I am getting a puppy!

I know what you are saying.  "Holy Heston Bob D, you are finally getting the dog you have been talking aboot for years?"  Yes.  But first let's explore the reasons why this is the venue I have announced this grand news on.

A bunch of 50 year olds have told me that Faceofbooks and Instantgram are all the rage with the youngsters these days but for a long time members of the H7HT always got the word to the street on this very blog.  We told you aboot all of the trials and tribulations of our hunting exploits in long form, with many more than 40 characters and sometimes more backstory and explanations than you may have wanted.  Sure, we might be longwinded but it turns out some of you liked it.  Sometimes we even created poetry and songs and catchphrases that we hoped you might like.  But then that day came when we realized that nobody, NOBODY, actually read the blog.  We believed that we were doing this just for ourselves, and the time we put in to create a posting that we hoped would connect with all our thousands of readers, turned out to be just something that was a giant waste of time.  For Heston's sake, we could be out scouting rather than typing away in the 'hunt and peck' method just to entertain ourselves.  So, the day came when we adapted to the times and used our amazing social media skills to put pictures on thefaceofbooks so that people would know how amazing our hunting skills are.  It seemed that the days of the Blog were dead.

So here I am today knowing that this was all a lie.  People actually not only read the blog, but liked it!  I spent a couple weeks back East with some old friends and they all lamented the dissolution of the Blog. Turns out that old people actually enjoy the story.  They like to read.  They seem to want to hear aboot Tom Foolery and disappointment and all the ways we fail in our duck hunting trips.    Many of them even said we should start up again.  Who knew?

So, without further adieu, I announce today that I am getting a puppy.  A purebred Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retreiver.  And I will use this blog as the space to vomit out all the useless information about raising this dog for tolling (look it up.  Come on, I can't tell you everything can I?) and the joys and downfalls and highs and lows of being and old guy with a new best friend.  Stay tuned......
