Wanted: Dissatisfied with current relationship which for no apparent reason seems to have changed at the end of January. Previous trips to far away places have suddenly ended without notice. Walks with the gun have ceased. Riding in the pickup has halted. Long getaways are no more. I have to chase mice and songbirds and sleep on the couch with the cat for entertainment. I’m so bored. Yesterday, I shit on the floor just because. Jogging on a leash has taken the place of unfettered runs in open country. This is the winter of my discontent. Interested parties should send photo of shotgun and bird cover and operational plan for future hunts. Ask for Mabel. I can’t take six more months of this.

Laid up for the last months of the bird season here in VT, I have a one year old expressing similar sentiments. Well done.

It’s tough,but happens every year. Fortunately,fishing Is soon upon us and standing in rivers eyeing some nice trout has a calming effect.
Poor Mabel. She deserves better !
