He's gone to the dogs.

Well, welcome, folks, to the Gone to the Dogs podcast.

Your host, Steve Fieler with you one more time.

So grateful for the opportunity to visit with you each week on this podcast.

We've got to thank Al Gore for inventing the Internet, ha, ha,

and making it possible for us to stream these podcast sessions out there to you all across the country and even around the world if you can imagine that.

Today I want to thank first of all before we go any further my dear friends at D.U. Hunting Supply,

W.U. Hunting Supply out there in Washington State, Buddy Woodbury, Jason Doobie,

all the staff out there for providing me this opportunity.

And guys, if you need anything for your hounds, your hunting activities, and all these guys have it,

they got a great website that's very easy to get on there, dusupply.com.

And they absolutely service what they sell and have customer service that I think is second to none.

Well, I'm really excited today to bring to the mic a guy that I've known for quite a while.

I first met him when I went to work for PKC.

We may have met at the UKC Winter Classic in Albany, Georgia when I was a UKC man.

I'm not sure, and we'll clear that up.
