The recent Man’s Best Friend caption contest produced a flood of great entries. But before I get to the winner, let me say many thanks to Joe Pope of Sporting Dog Photographs for the hilarious image. And thumbs up to Cabela’s for the prize—a six-pack of training dummies.

I got an invitation to go quail hunting last weekend at Brays Plantation in Sheldon, S.C. I’m a newbie quail hunter, but I jumped at the chance, of course. The birds were thick, the weather was perfect, and, surprisingly, my shot wasn’t too far off.

Not too long ago I was mildly bragging about Pritchard’s water entry. In short, she’s a small dog but she hits the water with enthusiasm—and air. So when I heard that the Dock Dogs competition was coming to our hometown of Charleston, SC I decided to enter my pup.

I have to admit, I’m a Jets fan, but last night’s Super Bowl was one of the finest I’ve seen. Pritchard didn’t get too excited about the game, but she did raise her head from a deep slumber when the Doritos bark collar commercial aired. She didn’t get the joke—she just liked the barking—but I got a laugh out of it. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, check it out below.
