Big Day

This has been a big week for us. On Monday the vets X-rays showed that Dee's leg had healed nicely from his trauma and surgeries. So Tuesday morning Dee was one of the dogs chosen for the first hunt. As Mike unloaded him from the kennel I'm not sure which one of them was more excited.


Dee ran and hunted as if he had never been injured. It was a beautiful thing to see the 2 French boys out there together causing terror for pheasants.



We got into some pheasants and later some quail so we returned to the Open Range content to relax and reflect on a good day. But when we returned there was a message waiting for Mike that his daughter had developed complications and was going to have an emergency C-section that evening. Several anxious hours later the good news came through that Mom and baby were both doing well - Mike was a grandfather!!! The next morning we were hooked up and on the road at dark-thirty, headed the 7 hours to the hospital over by Kansas City.
Mike and his beautiful daughter, Taylor


Christian was born a month premature so for precaution he is spending a little time in an incubator but the beautiful little boy is healthy and sound.



We will visit again this morning and then head back to the other end of the state because Saturday is opening day and we managed to score impossible to get tix to the Longspur Chapter of Pheasants Forever banquet. Never a dull day!
