My daughter picked them up in Kansas a couple hours ago, and we will meet her in South Dakota tomorrow to bring him back to North Dakota. Not sure how reaper is going to handle it, but I know eventually he will learn to love him!
He is already tired thinking about all the birds he will be retrieving

From some of the videos, my daughter has sent me. I’m gonna really enjoy the time he is sleeping because he seems to be a big ball of energy.

Getting ready to make the 8 Hour Dr. to South Dakota. Gonna spend a few hours with my daughter as it’s also her birthday. She is the one that has a rare disease and was on chemo and we almost lost so it’ll be an extra special day to spend another birthday with her for a few hours and pick up Striker. My brain is still in work mode as today is my first day off since mid May.

He is getting comfortable with his surroundings now and getting mischievous. Reaper still doesn’t know what to think. Kids won’t give him any peace. Going to give him another day or two and then hard-core training will begin. I would say compared to you guys, my hard-core training is pretty soft.

Those Chessie puppy blue eyes appear to be turning already. He'll soon be showing off his Chestapeake super powers.
