Finn, our oldest German Shorthair, is in his 13th hunting season. Two years ago he had ultra sound and cat scans that showed 2 masses on his liver. We weighed his having surgery followed by chemo but with his age we opted to allow him what we thought was his last year to be chemo free.

The last 2 years have been some of his best times in the woods and field. Another photo shows him, (the white and liver dog) with our 3 year old Gizmo locked on pointing a pair of Gambel quail in the AZ desert. I lucked out taking the double when I moved in and flushed them. See photo above of Finn mugging me with the 2 birds.

Finally a shot of all 3 of our shorthairs with a bunch of birds we took from their points. While we know the other shoe will soon fall, Finn has enjoyed the last 2 seasons in the field and so have we.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for upcoming blogs on Yellowstone Conservation, fly fishing and more.
