The Last One To Know...

Jess has been pussyfooting around the idea of a new puppy since Trooper developed heart problems. I just happened to get hold of this e-mail he sent a breeder with pups...

Hi,

First off, let me congratulate you on some beautiful pups.  I hope you can answer a few questions for me, or if its easier you could give me a call at 801-349*****.  I'm slowly stepping back into the puppy market, my trusty side-kick is getting pretty long in the tooth and probably ought to be limited to a half-day of hunting or so. What can you tell me about the parents of these pups? Do you hunt them, have they done any trialing? Do you have any pictures of the parents? How did this breeding come about? Are both parents your dogs? Do either of them live in the house? How do the parents point? My current dog is a bird-finding machine, but has always been a little "soft" on point, he kind of just ambles to a halt when he pins the birds- so I'm hoping for a little more style and intensity for the next one.

A.Is Troopy really long in the tooth? and B. WHO WOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PUPPY? I'm just sayin'.

Poor Troop. I remember when he was just a puppy and peed in my hallway while Jess was helping me move. That was 6 years ago! If you can do the math, you're smarter than me.

If Trooper can't hunt anymore, he'll still be good to have around for entertainment because he really likes to smell butt. Doesn't matter who or where or when, smelling butt is always on the menu.

And can't Sam and Trooper just take care of the puppy? They could be like the cute gay couple who adopts a baby from China! I think they'd do a really good job!

So, what exactly will happen when poor Troop is locked in the truck for the last half of the hunting day? Wait, I think I can hear the whining already.
