BIRD DOGS AND VOLCANOS!!

"Fleck" pointing in Argentina

Hi all,
Received these pics from NRSFTC Board member Mike Jacobson, who recently traveled to Argentina to visit Jim Wurtz. Jim is a red setter guy from way back, and he just acquired the puppy above from Mike. This is "Fleck" who is 4 1/2 months old and, as you can see, Jim already has him in training mode. As you may already know if you've been listening to the news, a major volcanic eruption is occuring in Chile, just upwind from where Jim lives in Argentina... so, in between training red dogs, Jim is spending a lot of time hosing down his house, trees, etc. from the daily doses of volcanic ash that seem to cover everything. Jim sent a picture (below) of a typical day living downwind from a volcano... and we thought that multiflora rose and cactus was bad... I think I like snow better.
