We have all heard Poor Richard’s old proverb: “A watched pot never boils.”
If Ole Ben Franklin had really wanted to get the point across he would have said something like: “A watched puppy will never grow up.”
And of course, we all are watching as we are waiting for our pups. They are too cute not to and we are too excited also.
Here is the latest picture of Caza and her littermates.
Puppy Pile
What does one do while waiting for his next hunting companion?

- Start looking for more places to hunt with and train pup.
- Start writing blogs, even when one is not a blogger.
- Start hanging around shady characters that are in beard growing contests with their Ugly Dogs.
- Search the internet for any and all information available about training future pup.
- Wonder if pup will ever be born.
- Look up old hunting buddies from years gone by.
