Hunting is Like Work

I may need to charge overtime. Treats and a half, Mike! I wrote recently that fishing is like work, and I’m here to tell you that hunting is like real work. I have to climb mountains, trek down valleys, wade or swim across rivers and struggle and muscle my way through...

Dog Names

Well, there are now lists for everything — including popular dog names. I was surfing the web and looking for more stuff to order when a list popped up — the Most Popular Dog Names. I had to look — and could not find Cameron anywhere. Who made this list? On the list I...

Fishing is Like Work!

On the offseason I get to fish — a lot. But fishing (not necessarily catching) with Mike sure feels like work! Well, it has been a long hot summer of tagging along as Mike fishes. Now, I did not say he was catching — just fishing, har har! On the downside of these...

We Weims Can Run

Weimaraners can run at speeds up to 35 MPH. I was again surfing the web the other day — hey, I’m down to only 20 boxes of dog treats, time to reorder — and saw a dog speed report. According to the report, Weimaraners can run at speeds up to 35 MPH. We Weims can run!...

The Stare

The Stare

As a dog, I have a method of communication that sends a clear message — The Stare. You hoomans have many ways to communicate — like writing, smoke signals and Morse code. I noticed, nearly all of you rarely speak any more and spend most of each day staring down into a...
The Cameron House

The Cameron House

As Mike explained who he was and pointed up the hill to our home, the woman then exclaimed “oh, you live with Cameron!” I have written several times in the past about how dogs have plans to move in and take over your house and life — just as I have done at Mike’s...

Maybe You Do Some Fetching

If a dog goes on point or keeps moving away from where you are, take note… Once Mike and I were hunting a huge field where soybeans had been grown but had been harvested. OK, I was hunting and Mike was dragging along behind. He needs to keep up, hunting is a...

Git Out There and Take the Dog

As you make plans to get outdoors, remember to include your dog. It must be the rules of life in Montana — everyone has a truck and a dog, and where the truck goes the dog goes. I believe Montana leads the nation in trucks on the road with dogs inside. OK, some...
