    8 yr old English Setter

    Antsy last night, her panting breathing kept me up. Took her out at 1 30 am for a leak. Same behavior. I bet I’ve seen her pee over a dozen times today. Went for a morning hunt and she finally seems relaxed. What’s up? In heat? UTI? Kidney stones?

    Upland strap vest you can load birds in

    I’ve got a Badlands vest which is great BUT…have to take it off to pocket birds…pain in the ass. Any suggestions? If you can’t pocket birds with ease don’t mention it.
