Fifteen seasons in, and I’m heading into this one a little differently.

When my doctor told me, “Courtney, this season you may just need to tell your friends to move on without you,” it crushed me.

But as opening day gets closer, I’m finding a little peace with it.

I don’t need to prove to myself that I can walk the miles, climb the mountains, make the shot, train the dog, fill the limit or chase the next bucket-list bird. I’ve done those things, and I know I’ll do plenty of them again.

This season means going when I can, where I can, with whichever dog can.

Walking a little slower. Taking more breaks. Letting a few more birds fly. Sitting on the tailgate a little longer. Being grateful for every day I get to go.

No boxes to check. Just wild birds, bird dogs, and the mornings we wait all year for.

Season fifteen. I’m still pretty damn excited for you. 💜🧡

Jellybean has officially claimed the new heated blanket. 💜🧡

We’ve been testing the Kozzzy 2-Zone Heated Pet Blanket from ororo Heated Apparel, and judging by how quickly she settled in, I’d say it has her approval.

For me, the best part is that it’s cordless and rechargeable. We spend so much time traveling with dogs, training, hunting, camping and sitting around at events that having something I can toss in the truck and use wherever we end up is pretty handy.

It has two heating zones, up to 13 hours of warmth on low, a water-resistant bottom and built-in temperature protection. I’m already thinking about cold mornings later this season.

Thanks ororo Heated Apparel for sending this one our way to try!

Happy National Dog Day to the ones who make every adventure better. 🤎🐾

Life is better with bird dogs… especially a whole pack of them.

Adding a dog door to the backyard has been a gamechanger! Watching a puppy figure it out is pretty dang cool. She’s been doing amazing at potty training, so hopefully she starts letting herself out 🤞🏻

Five weeks old already!

Every day they’re exploring something new, spending a little time away from their littermates, learning to work through small challenges, meeting new people, and continuing their bird introductions. Every positive experience helps build their confidence.

Watching each personality develop is one of the best parts of raising a litter. And those wrinkles… 😍
