kodiaksalmon 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 My lab is doing whatever I am. Either going to work, fishing or tying. He's going on 7 and has never chewed anything and that applies to tying materials. He'll sit and watch, but with two of my three bedrooms being dedicated to tying, the "smell" of it doesn't really phase him so he could care less. He only wakes up when I open a beer and he knows he gets a sip. But with so much Flashabou floating around my house, often enough he'll get a strand or two of Flashabou down with a rawhide or stuck on a ball he's chasing and it'll go down...and a day or two later...come out. Sometimes I have have to...."help"....it out for him. But he's my best buddy, so I don't mind. I just keep a paper towel close at hand and it's part of it.

onceahoosier 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 That's my old tying bud in my Avatar, sitting next to the tying bench in my man cave. I loved to torture him with my rooster capes, and his favorite tying material, the hare's mask. He died last year, I still love tying, but its not the same without my assistant.

sandflyx 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2012 My black lab could care less when I tied, but if someone came to the shop he was right there ( just lost him in nov.) His pal though was another story. every day he would come in looking for my lab to play with and would visit me while tying. never ate a fly but would check them out.

southernRoller7 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 Max, my 111 pound, goofy white lab, and best friend ever pretty much follows me everywhere and anywhere, but he takes a special shine to my fly tying. He is very intrigued by what could possibly be making my hand spin to darn fast! Fortunately i taught him well enough not to get into hides when i started tanning them so that the Borax didnt make him sick. So he doesnt really get into my materials ever, but just earlier today i tied a fly with all the hair he sheds! He will be forever with me now, haha. This is a picture of Max and his fly.

I had a few of those once, they are the sweetest hens to ever lay an egg! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjackman 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 I spent the day with some friends dying rabbit strips a dozen different colours, only to come home the next day to find that the dogs had broken open my office door, and helped themselves to much of the rabbit. My living room looked like someone had murdered the easter bunny. Much of it was saved, but it did suffer from the drool test. At least my dye didn't run. Those 5 hunting dogs have kept me in a lifetime supply of pheasant feathers, so i guess we're even..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
