4 Months

Rufus is 4 months and 1 week.  He went back to the Vet for his last set of shots, he is finally free to roam!  The other day while I was takin a break from some yard work, I wondered how he would react to a quail wing tied to a fishing pole.  So, I tied one up and gave it a try.  My son Austen video'd the action.  Now, remember, Rufus is only 4 months old with no "bird" or "pointing" training. Pretty impressive! - sg

Rufus is 13 weeks.  He was a stinky little fellow so we gave him a bath on Saturday.  He wasn't really sure if he liked it or not, but after a bit, he seemed to enjoy it.  Some of the photo's are a little fuzzy ( I think the photographer was a little distracted).  I think his natural instincts are finally starting to develope.  Sunday morning we were hangin out while everyone else was still sleeping, he spotted something in the other room and froze like statue.  As we went to investigate what had peeked his interest, he slowly made his way into the other room, using his nose and looking like a real hunter, he stopped suddenly, his body all tensed up and lean, his tail stiff as a board and nose pointed straight at something I never saw.  He just stood there in perfect form...... I just about started to cry!  I never did figure out what he was so intensly focused on, but after that display, I really didn't care...... Things are lookin-up! - sg
