Happy Saturday everyone!

Norman continued to do excellent this week. We took another trip to the lake since the summer in coming to a close. He had a ton of fun swimming and going after his bumper. He got to go to the lake with his new friend Marsh Kitty. It was a great adventure. This weekend hunting starts in WI. Sept 1st early goose season is upon us. Norman loves to hunt geese. We are going to make some special memories this weekend by taking Norman hunting again. He may not be the quickest, have the most endurance, may only get to do one or two retrieves but seeing the joy on his face while he is out doing what he was bred for and loving the moment will be enough for me. These memories will be the ones I hold dear in my heart when he is gone. Let’s hope I can get a goose for my special buddy.

Here is a picture from a couple years ago early goose hunting.

Norman with his granddaughter Riley.

This day I hunted with Justin from ALL Seasons Adventures a guide service in South Central WI. He is a friend of ours and has one of Nellie’s puppies Riley. As you can see we had a fabulous day. It was surely a memory keeper being able to hunt with Norman and his granddaughter.
