Bird dog training!

We drove down to London to visit with Felicia and Henry and Ollie, and go to a fun picnic trial where we got to use real birds! And, Baloo was introduced to his very first live pigeon! It was a ton of fun, and he did GREAT, true to his retriever blood! ;)

A few pictures:

Baloo says: "Can I go play with the birdies now, Momma?"

"Hold me back!!"

"I gots it, here I come!!"

I'm VERY proud of him, and excited to see what the future holds for my little R+ bird doggie... ;)
