My buddy had a bird dog named, "Buck." He'd feed him a big old scoop and a pound of raw hamburger everyday. One midwinter day he goes out there and sets the scoop and hamburger on the fence post looks over at Buck and says, "What's wrong with you buck you lazy sombitch, you act like yer f'ing dead. Haha." He gets Buck a bucket of water and goes over to feed him and the dumb son of a *b-word was dead.
