Looks like I somehow deleted my post on here. Had Thunder since I was 15. He has an uncountable number of Pheasants, ducks, rabbits and a handful of cats. Almost had to get rid of him once because I had nowhere to keep him. Thank God we roughed it out.
He loves water and pop bottles.
My Wife took this pic one morning on a walk. Turned out kind of cool.

My best friend, Gunnar! As you can see the swelling on his nose, he was diagnosed with Fibrosarcoma (cancer in the mouth). These pictures were taken on his last ever hunt and the last bird he ever pointed and retrieved.
The best dog I ever owned and one of the toughest, at age 2 he tore the tendon equivalent to a human's bicep tendon away from his shoulder. Had to undergo major surgery and physical therapy. He was a true athlete as they said he would be limited in anything he could do for 6 months to a year but received a full go after 5 months of therapy.
While he was in for surgery, his blood work came back showing he was in the early stages of heart worms. Had to take a shot on each side of his spine for 4 weeks or so to get rid of them. Then he fought the cancer for a little over 2 years before I had to say goodbye to him on January 1, 2010. He never once lost his energy or his spirit. If a man could ever look up to a dog, this was the one. There isn't a day goes by I don't think of him. Sorry for the long post.

My best friend Kaycee. She's 7 years old now, and I have so many great memories with her, that I'm not sure I will ever even try to replace her. She's one of a kind for sure. Quite the Diva
First goose hunt
Turned into a pretty good shed dog as well.
KAYCEE SURE IS A DIVA! WHAT A GREAT DOG MR. HELMS, SHE SURE HAS A PLACE IN MY HEART

This is my buddy, Pixie. She is almost 4 years old & weighs a whole 2# 12 oz. She is waiting for me every day at the door, loves to play fetch, always has a wiggly tail & loves sitting in my lap as we check over the best whitetail website (this one).

I've had some real good coonhounds, GSP's and labs, but now my right hand is Wolf. A very loyal family dog that won't even look at a deer or turkey in the yard, but any coyote, wandering stray dog or coon better watch out. He will not leave the yard and does a great job helping work horses thru the pens. And never barks unless it's something important, I better know about.

Tucker is our 1.5 yr old Pointer. I thought our old GSP had energy... Tucker has the nickname "The Blur" because when he is running wild, you look out the window every so often and see a streak of white run by. He is a stealer of fish, playmate to the kids, a wannabe lap dog, and smarter than me.
Here he was having a blast fetching branches for the kiddos snow fort until he caught the scent of a bird and I snapped the pic just as he was about to lock on point. He pinned that bird deep in the tree and only a stick of dynamite would have got him to break until I flushed the bird.
