My wife had twins about a week and a half ago. A boy and a girl. In honesty I can say that it was the most amazing day of my life. It took six days but we all came home from the hospital together, happy and healthy. Now back at home I am getting caught back up on work and life in general. This has meant sleepless nights and a lot of learning, but it is all good. Did I mention sleepless night?
The dogs have reacted really well to the babies, as we assumed that they would. They are both very curios and they have both been very gentle. Porter likes to check the babies out, but does the majority of his observation from a distance, but each day is becoming more comfortable around them. Cash on the other hand is already trying to sleep right next to the babies and investigates with his nose as close to them as he can possibly be without actually touching them. We are obviously very happy with both dogs. My dogs are genuinely part of the family and that has never been truer than it is now.
Despite all of this baby business I have been able to sneak out a couple of times locally to run the dogs on some chukar. I have had a lot of fun hunting locally and have actually done pretty well considering the time constraints.
I had to bonk a rattle snake over the head with a big rock on Sunday. He was the most aggressive rattler that I have ever been around striking at me from a distance immediately. I was probably going to kill him regardless, but because of his bad attitude I enjoyed killing this one. I hoped that they would have gone to bed for the winter but apparently not. It seems like I am hearing stories of lots of snakes this year. I have been buzzed more than a couple of times myself and that is never fun. The dogs have avoided them so far and hopefully we can make it through another season without incident.
Below are a handful of hunting pictures from the last week.
