Flew him over with me, he had to go into 2 weeks quarantine, a bummer but what can you do. He goes with me every morning to the park and I 'try' and take photos. This morning there was heavy fog with the sun burning through and he scared away a Heron and a Giant Egret :-) Not a good combo, bird shooting and a dog, but he is very good about it. If I let the rollup leash hang he just lays down and waits for me to finish my shoot. Unfortunately, birds sense a predator, heh heh. So often I go back alone after he gets his run. Sometimes I curse having a dog, but he is good company and I love him. Japan Jim PS: I got some great shots this morning in spite of missing the Heron. I got a couple Cormorants on posts in the water with fog and sun coming through, might be nice...
