Jaeger's best week ever

He hunts and he swims! Jaeger had his best week ever last week. Labor Day was opening day of dove season, and for the first time, Matt took Jaeger hunting with him and his dad. Although they didn't see many doves, it was a great day to work with Jaeger on his retrieving. Matt reported a promising first experience with his hunting buddy, and they eagerly await upcoming duck season. 

Then on Sunday our community pool opened to dogs. Every year they open up the pool to dogs before they drain it for the winter. Jaeger was in heaven as he swam amongst what must have been fifty other dogs. Unfortunately Jaeger also likes to exert his fertility so we had to cut his swim time short. The neutering debate is a hot topic in our household, but we agree that Jaeger sealed his fate on Sunday. We are going to give him a grace period through duck season, but he will most likely go under the knife next spring. Sorry Jaeg - one day you'll understand that it's just because we love you.

In his element
