Photo of the day

Not my picture. Sent by my sister - their newest dug - meet Martha the springer spaniel puppy At a rare moment of rest - I'm assured. Both her parents are working gun dogs. I did a picture story years ago - the training of spaniels to do such things - the pups had to carry raw eggs back in their mouths without damaging them to demonstrate their inherent ability. Then trained to be sent by gesture to quarter a segment of land for the birds taken down. Deeply impressive to watch - let me tell you. They didn't give a fuck about gunfire. They just sit at the feet of the shooter waiting - imagine a 'killing' cone in front of you - if birds are being driven towards you - you can send the dug - left, right or middle to pick up. It's hard to argue that there isn't something unique about the relationship between homo sapiens and dugs. - I.
 
All to myself....

EDIT: uploading photos on the forum reduces their resolution so there's not much to zoom in to.

The focus should be on the duck which swam leisurely in an empty pool (hence the title). I wish it would have referred to me but no chance of me being alone in such a relaxing setting. :p
