I was lucky enough to spend a few days down in Georgia at a good friend's family's quail hunting plantation within the past couple of weeks. This enchanting destination is one of the very few places on Earth where I'm able to truly relax. Plus, with an all-star group of chums like we had, it was a pants-wetting-event-a-minute experience.

Nelson, the English Cocker Spaniel, should be on that show "Dogs with Jobs". When asked to, he races into the underbrush when a bird goes down and finds it every single time.

Nelson in the Bird Buggy. There are a bunch of different pairs of Pointers in the back, as they tire quickly and have to be rotated in and out.

I think if Seitz ever climbed Mt. Everest, I'll bet that photos would show that he did it in a pair of Guccis:

Thanks Trish!
