You will find pretty much anything here - but mostly things related to Red Dead Redemption and Vulture Culture. Additionally, you’ll also now (as of April 2023) start seeing gundog content, as I’ve become quite enthusiastic about them since getting a German Shorthaired pointer. Find my GSP on Instagram @marlow.gsp

But also anything related to gender/sexuality/spirituality/psychology and your general shit-posting.

Gary Whitta: GUNDOG

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.

(picture from Realm)

In the near future, humanity has been conquered by a race of artificial intelligences known as the Mek. The American West has been divided into a series of labor camps invigilated by the Mek. At night, however, the workers tell each other stories. Among these are tales of the GUNDOGs, the bipedal war machines which supposedly served as the last weapons of the human race... until they, too, were felled.

Sitting somewhere at the intersection of Pacific Rim and The Postman, GUNDOG is Mobile Suit Gundam dripping with Americana. It will not surprise you. The action scenes, the romance, the dialogue, the family relationships— all of them are quite comfortable to exist within cliché. Even if you've known this story exists for all of the two paragraphs of this review, you already know how it ends.

Speculative fiction can be broadly said to follow a certain structure: imagine that the world has a new change introduced to it. What are the ramifications of that change? What are the ramifications of that ramification? When done well, it feels like a well-oiled machine.

Mecha stories require a certain modification of that framework: after all, the idea that human-shaped, building-sized robots could possibly be effective war machines falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. Part of the contract with the reader, then, is for us to not apply that scrutiny and instead go along for the ride.

That being said, though, some of the "rules" of GUNDOG feel particularly contrived. As I've gotten older, I've gotten less demanding that my science fiction be internally consistent and logical, but GUNDOG strains that credulity. This feels a bit like seeing the strings holding up the Enterprise, and it poses a danger to the author: I found myself not asking "why is this world like this", but instead "why did Gary Whitta write it like this?" In short, I found myself taken out of the story at moments.

Which is a shame, because as negative as this review has sounded so far, I didn't really hate GUNDOG. For as clichéd as these characters are, they're reasonably compelling studies of those clichés. I encountered this story through the free podcast/audiobook version hosted by the company Realm, and narrator Shannon Woodward does an awesome job. Your life will not be changed by GUNDOG. If you want to put something on to half-listen to while you work, though, you could do a lot worse.

Meet Marlow, my German Shorthaired Pointer!

I’ve had him since October last year, so it’s about time I started posting about him here. He’s about 9 months old now and incredibly smart.

On top of now seeing posts about Marlow (who you can find on Instagram @/marlow.gsp), I’ll also start sharing general posts about gun/bird dogs and that sort of thing because I’ve become quite passionate about them.

Preparing Your Gun Dog for Loud Gun Sounds: Essential Training Tips

Gun dogs are invaluable companions for hunters, aiding in retrieving game and enhancing the overall hunting experience. However, a crucial aspect of gun dog training is acclimating them to the loud sounds of gunfire. Without proper preparation, a dog may become startled or anxious, affecting their performance and safety. This article will outline essential steps to effectively train your gun dog to remain calm and focused in the presence of loud gun sounds.

Start with Desensitization

Begin by exposing your gun dog to gradually increasing levels of noise. Start indoors with recordings of gunshot sounds played at low volumes. Reward your dog for remaining calm and relaxed during these sessions. Gradually increase the volume over time as your dog becomes more accustomed to the sound.

Create positive associations with the sound of gunfire by pairing it with something enjoyable for your dog. For example, give your dog treats or engage in play immediately after playing the gunshot sounds. This helps your dog understand that gunfire predicts positive experiences, reducing their anxiety.

Introduce Gunfire During Training Sessions

Incorporate gunfire into your dog's training sessions gradually. Start by introducing the sound at a distance while your dog is engaged in activities such as retrieving or obedience training. As your dog becomes more comfortable, gradually decrease the distance between them and the source of the gunfire.

Use a Starter Pistol or Blank Gun

Begin with milder forms of gunfire, such as a starter pistol or blank gun, before transitioning to actual firearms. These tools produce less intense noise levels, allowing your dog to acclimate gradually. Always prioritize safety when using any type of firearm or blank gun.

Provide Reassurance and Comfort

During training sessions involving gunfire, remain calm and composed to reassure your dog that everything is safe. Use soothing tones and physical gestures to provide comfort if your dog shows signs of anxiety. Your demeanor can significantly influence your dog's response to loud noises.

Maintain Consistency and Patience

Consistency is key to successful gun dog training. Practice regularly and maintain a structured training schedule to reinforce positive behaviors. Be patient with your dog and avoid rushing the process. Each dog will progress at its own pace, so adjust your training approach accordingly.

Gradually Increase Exposure

As your dog becomes more comfortable with gunfire in controlled settings, gradually expose them to different environments and hunting scenarios. Practice in various locations with different levels of distractions to ensure your dog remains focused and calm regardless of the surroundings.

Monitor Your Dog's Response

Pay close attention to your dog's body language and behavior during training sessions involving gunfire. Look for signs of stress or discomfort, such as trembling, panting excessively, or trying to escape. Adjust your training approach if necessary to address any issues that arise.

Conclusion

Preparing your gun dog to handle loud gun sounds is an essential aspect of their training for hunting. By following these steps and prioritizing gradual desensitization, positive reinforcement, and patience, you can help your dog become confident and composed in the presence of gunfire. With consistent training and positive experiences, your gun dog will be well-equipped to excel in the field and enhance your hunting adventures.
