You come home to this....

Ol' Gauge the (bow hunting) Gun Dog Sr. is something else...

 
 

These aren't staged photo's... I had this bow on my table just putting a string on it..

I get home from work and do my rounds of saying hi to Gauge, start dinner, call my soon to be Bride, etc....

I hear this "CLANK!!!".. I know what it is, but so un-like Gauge to chew on anything. I get up and this is what I find. I did tell him to sit and stay so I could get a picture..

Yep, Spring need to get here..

For the record, the bow is fine...

Happy hunting,

Todd

His eyes bespeak a generous and honest soul, and he has a soft mouth to boot! That is a prince among dogs.

Cool Pics! I know how he feel's...  Jason

cute pic, i would have blown a gasket  
my dog even goes by my bow and i say NO in a stern voice. i had my bow on the living room floor once, unstrung, and was playing with one of his toys. he likes to go fetch like many dogs and before he grabs the toy he'll stomp on it. he looks like a polar bear trying to break thru the ice, very funny. so anyway i'm playing with him, he gets really excited and runs over and stomps on my super kodiak..... i jumped up and yelled NO! needless to say he doesn't bother my bows anymore  

Great photos!  Looks like a smart dog that's ready to work.

I had a recurve laying across the arms of an overstuffed easy chair.  The string was down and the riser was leaning against the back.  I walked in the room and saw my kids' 9 pound Shih Tzu up on the chair's arm straddling the limb tip.  His head was down, apparently chewing on the raw wool silencer.  Before I could yell at him, the string popped and the limb caught him under the belly.  Launched that dog pretty fast.  He banged against the ceiling and then thumped on the floor.  He laid still for for a minute before staggering off.  Doesn't seem too interested in my bows now...        

Cool pic.  He's waitin' by the back door, too!

how cool is that,you and your dog must have a great relationship.there is nothing like it out there in the world to be friends with an animal with lots of character  

Beautiful lab and smart he knows you can go stump shooting anytime.

I love that dog

Looks like you need to get out Todd!!

and you'll notice he didn't chew on the string or the limbs.

Old Gauge knows when it's time to go find a new blood trail! Better listen to him Todd!LOL   Ben

Good boy, Gauge!  My labs only find & retrieve arrows...
