Thread: dog a little gun shy

Just sometimes we get involved in what we are doing and sort of forget the dog...we know they are as hard as nuts, obsessed with hunting and stuff but just sometimes we forget ourselves or rather them...it is like water retrieves...we can sit in the maimai with thermals, state of the art neoprene this, microfleece that, gortex whatevas but dog is all wet from the water, and cold, often very cold...the average temperature of a healthy dog is 101 °F or 38 °C...so if we are cold, he must be pretty damn cold, if he is wet.
And we sometimes forget too that not only is the dog's sense of nose extreme, but also his hearing (thats why gundogs have folded ears!!) is vastly acute...
