re: What was Kristi Noem thinking?

She wrote that the dog made her look like an idiot, so she shot it?

She tried to sauce it up...had to be done, nothing she could've done differently, she claims.

She took an untrained or poorly trained bird dog (14 months old) on a hunt. She said she hoped it would learn what to do from the older dogs.

It did what puppies do when they're not trained and chased the birds all over the place and "ruined the hunt." Apparently, on the way back from the hunt, she stopped at a neighbor's and the unsecured bird dog jumped out of the bed of the truck and attacked some birds. She says it "tried to bite her" despite no other mention of aggression towards people.

She tried to make herself sound tough, but she made herself look like an emotional idiot.
