Went out east a bit to let the dog run in the sagebrush and potentially get a rabbit or two. We were successful on both counts and I got a good retrieve of Rowdy's first rabbit. I was only going to shoot rabbits he pointed or that I flushed when he didn't know they were there. Basically I wasn't going to shoot a rabbit he ran. This rabbit I flushed when he was up ahead of me and shot it. Rowdy came running when he heard the shot, caught scent of the rabbit and made the retrieves

Some antelope:

 He was panting from the heat.  It was a balmy 55 degrees, but yes I think he was mighty happy as well.
