The Point

The Point


“One Trick Ponies” – Kurt Vile

As anyone who’s owned one can attest, there’s easier things than raising a bird dog. Trying to mold 50 lbs of pure energy, unbridled curiosity and stubborn will into something remotely manageable takes effort. Bird dog development never travels in a straight line and progress only comes in fits and starts.

But in a world of unbridled convenience, it’s good to know that some things still require time and effort. 

There’s a thousand or so less challenging dogs, those where some kibble, a leashed walk and a belly rub is all they will ever need.

But I’m in search of something more than a pet, I’m looking for a partner.

It’s not easy, but that’s sort of the point.
