Ady Breeds Dog's Breakfast www.sunlive.co.nz

They say patience is a virtue, but when they came up with this inane saying, a GSP was not included, either that or I was standing behind the door when the briefing was being held.

So either I am not very virtuous or patience is not my strong point.

So be it, but as the picture will attest to, I can wait with the best of them. But if something does not fly by soon, I am out of here.

All this occurred the other day with the boss man, uncle and a couple of other intrepid two-leggers, who went on another mission in the wild.

The sun was out and guns were loaded, this is what I live for; rummaging around in gorse and trying to flush out game birds so the lads can have a shot or two.

Well I did my job, as you would expect, putting up a few birds, but I am yet to get an honest answer on the shooting capabilities of the boys in question.

It seems like I was copping all the critical comments, like 'they are out of range” or 'Ady get you butt back here!”

Hey I do what I do. If you cannot keep up, get a cat to help, as the gorse and blackberry do not help my constitution.

A great day was had by all though and the score ended with the pheasants well ahead on the score board. Not the usual result. One rabbit and a purple chicken was not a great return for all the endeavour. But that is not really the point, as it is just fantastic to be out in the wild with my two-legger mates, doing what I do and enjoying the sun.

But now it's home to rest my weary bones and grab the duvet, before the boss ventures up the stairs.

Now the headmaster has named his World Cup squad, let's get on with it. I really feel for the unlucky players who missed out, especially my mate Hosea Gear. I reckon Hosea could come pheasant shooting with me and while I lay in the grass, he could do all the running. He is quick enough to catch the birds by himself – the feathered ones.

So onto playing Dingo Deans and his convict mates – with a few Kiwi exceptions – this weekend. I have to say, if they tip up my boys, things for the 'Head Master” will be getting hotter – as you know what they say, two beatings in a row is a recipe for another.

My prediction for the winning of the cup is Georgia, as I reckon they will have the most attractive and single two-legger females and will be constantly on the look out for a rugby player or two to give their email address to. Running onto the pitch during a game showing their wares to the opposition will keep the Georgian boys winning.

Mark my words; I know how to pick them.

Cheers all – get out to enjoy this weather with your canine.
