Our camper has a table that seats four, Myself, Scooter and two shorthairs. This can be quite challenging at breakfast time. It seems like the pointers like bacon as much as we do! And they will do anything to get it. Here's is the standard morning menu. 1 doz. eggs, 1lb. of smoked slab bacon, shorthairs don't care for regular packaged store bought stuff. A generous pile of greasy "Camp Taters" and a half loaf of bread dripping with butter. Now the trick is to keep the pointers from eating off your plate. My technique is to keep my right elbow in the pointers chest to hold her away from the fixins'. This has been a fairly successful method, except for two minor flaws.
1) My right arm gets soaking wet from the jowel juice.
2) German Shorthairs are very good at crane neckin'
After we finish, the dogs eat the rest, and off to the woods we go. Now remember, your right arm is wet and will slow your quick draw on flying Grouse down a great deal. At least thats the excuse I use. Bird hunters have way more excuses than fisherman bye the way!
