Northern Celebrations: A Dark Side

They glistened like hidden treasures awaiting discovery. Lying in the bottom of a coulee, they beckoned to be released them from their fate, which, granted would probably have provided food and nourishment for a happy rodent.

Eider's Joy I know any and all dog trainers, especially those training and working towards hunting dog tests and trials, would cringe at Eider’s antics as the 2021 pheasant season drew down.   But I don’t care.
