October Full Moon On Mille Lacs

Before the nite got started,

quick pic of me and my fishing buddy.

Biggest fish of the nite, only one worth taking a picture of.

23.5 in.

Riley freezing to death,
she didn't move when I caught a 5 lb northern.

St. Croix River Sturgeon Fishing

10 min after we got set up,

my buddy Eric Kasa tied into this 40" Sturgeon.

After a 10 min battle and two trips around the boat.

She finally swam in the net.

I don't know who was more excited, me or him.

Hunting

One bird, Two Dogs

After the days hunt

Riley retrieving her first duck

Shane's first Minnesota limit of roosters.

Friday Morning Trip to St. Croix

Shane was there just long enough to catch

two small walleyes.

Then he decided to hook Riley with a jointed Rapala.

Look at her right nostril, it was close to coming out the top.

Luckily, Shane was able to grab her right away and cut the hook.

The vet was able to pull it out the same way it went in.

They had to give her morphine and a little anesthesia

but she was not all the way out.

This was after we got her home and she was still really drugged up.

Same here

This is around midnight when she was kind of getting back to normal.

The next day we bought her an 11" chewie. She loved it and had one end off the first day.

Riley

This was just taken today so you can see how much she has grown.

Shane weighed her yesterday and she is 48lbs.

Digging for a toy. She really likes to take them all out one by one.

Riley is almost 6 months old. She has just amazed both of us at how smart she is.
She catches on so fast and she is listening so much better now.
Must of just been that she need to get a little older.

Baby Teeth

Riley has lost all of her baby teeth.

Shane and I were able to find 9 of them.

He did pull a couple when we noticed that they were loose.

Kylie

Kylie and Shane

Riley & Kylie sharing water

Riley wanted to play with her all night long,

sometimes it was a little scary with the difference in size.

Riley impressed us all with how gentle she was with her.

Kylie really enjoyed Fenwick's cat tent.

Shawn and Melissa came to visit for a weekend

and brought the new addition with.
