Daddy's Gone a-Hunting

Jordan took a big hunting trip to Kansas with some guys he has met down here. They left on Wednesday and returned Sunday night! He brought both doggies, making it Rocky's first big hunt! They slept in tents and brought their own food (and it was freezing!), so they were really roughing it! Meanwhile, Serena did our best to hold down the fort here at home all on our own. It was very lonely around here without Daddy or either of the dogs!

Posing before taking off for the big trip!

Poor Serena happily waved "Bye bye!" to Daddy, not realizing it was going to be a 5-day, 4-night goodbye!

Heading out!

Making a meal at the campsite. Apparently Macy & Rocky each considered themselves one of the guys and lined up for some food! :)

The hunters and some of the birds and dogs (Can you tell they were COLD?!? This picture makes me shiver just to look at it!)

Rocky-boy



It's hard to describe Rocky's zeal in words; this picture helps a little!

Jordan got home late Sunday night, so Serena was already in bed by then. She was one happy little girl when she woke up the next morning and saw him, though! Rocky & Macy actually fared pretty well. They were a little on the tired side, but bounced back pretty quickly. Macy had a couple cuts that will take some time to heal, but nothing too major! Jordan brought home a nice little collection of pheasant & quail breasts. After he got them cleaned, we used some of it that night for Chicken Fried Rice and froze the rest. It was delicious! :)
