So, as some of you know I ran a Brace of Brittanies the past thirteen years hunting Feather & Fowl of the World with great success. Two years ago at age 14 had to put the oldest to sleep due to illness and suffering. Well as the life of Man and his partners always comes to a close, last week I had to put one of the greatest Bird Hunters to have graced a Man's Lodge to sleep at the same age due to cancer of the Pancreas & Liver.
His name was Duke, if a game Bird lived in a field valley or the thick woods of Grouse Territory he was found by this Hunter, every time.
Over the past year I have struggled to find another to replace these Masters of the Field and was looking hard for a Breed that really had my eye. their called Puddelpointer's . With only 29 Breeders in the whole of North America with a 2-3 year waiting list it was not going well. Until a chance phone call
and circumstance put one in my grasp. It was fate I tell you, it was meant to be.
So the CEO and I drove four hours into PA and returned home yesterday with a Pudelpointer Pup
Meet Eli, he's got big shoes ti fill. But it feels really right, if you know what i mean.
So to celebrate his first day in NJ I made a favorite, a NJ Cheesesteak, all the fixins, shaved Sirloin, peppers, onions, shrooms, garlic and a good Italian Bread, good sharp Provolone
Peppers and Shrroms on first on the Genny over a CI grill. Then Onions, then last Garlic sliced razor thin
The the Cheese on, kosher and fresh ground also
All put together
On the table with a good Beer with a couple of slices of orange
I have a great deal to be thankful for in life, good food by my own hand and the love and loyalty of so far four great hunting dogs.
