[QUOTE="3Roosters, post: 134110, member: 1351"] been there done that with my now 11 yr old springer( retired him from hunting last year when he went blind). It was about a half dozen years ago. Walking a cattail slough with my dog Luke and another guy..It was a very windy and warm day..about 65 degrees.. I would blow my whistle if he ventured too far or I couldn't see him or whatever. He didn't return when I whistled as we were about half way thru the walk and figured the wind had something to do with that.my buddy didn't see him either...we both surmised he must have got on a runner and we would find him on the other end of the slough chasing up roosters. Well he wasn't at the end of the slough so I started worrying, blowing my whistle. We headed back from whence we came thinking he was behind us and couldn't hear us. We got all the way back to where we started and there he was laying, panting. His body was warm so started cooling him off with water and rested him the rest of the afternoon. Thankfully he was ok..scared the bejesus out of me thinking I lost him. We aptly named that particular hunting location, LOST LUCAS SLOUGH. Kinda chuckle every time I drive by LOST LUCAS SLOUGH now but he sure had me worried at the time. The end. [/QUOTE]
