Saturday was Buddy's first day of formal training.  It's not a class, just one on one work with the trainer, who seems to know her stuff.  Right now, we're just working on the basics.  He's learning quickly and has gotten come, heal and sit down pretty well.  He's started sitting when he comes to us, without being asked, which is good.  The trainer gave us some "games" to play with him so he learns to obey all of us in the family.

So, as I'm sitting in the training room, getting ready to leave, I happen to glance out the window.  Now for reference, this place is in an area of Boise that used to be farm land and is now a bunch of commercial buildings, with some small fields separating developments.  So, as I said, I was looking out the window when low and behold a hen pheasant flies by!  I make a comment, "Hey, look at that!"  Then... not 10 seconds later, two roosters and another hen fly by!!  What the heck!!  No, wait, more birds... two more hens and one more rooster.  I couldn't believe it!  I had my shotgun in my truck, but it was in the middle of town, so obviously I couldn't shoot them.  I couldn't believe it.  That's where all the pheasants have gone - to TOWN!!  Go figure, lol!  :-(   ;-)
