"Jessee's Morning"

So my labrador retriever - Jessee - who has diabetes and who gets a shot of insulin twice a day has not been herself for the past three weeks. We've had to carry her up and down the steps, she slept all day long and was hardly eating anything. She lost about 10 lbs. It's been really hard on us and we took her to the veterinarian who loves her and has hunted pheasant over her numerous times. He gave her a blood test to check her sugar - normal. Took a urine sample to check her kidneys - normal along with a complete x-ray to check for cancer - all normal. He was at a loss for words and could not figure it out. Her insulin costs about $90 for a vial that lasts about three weeks. About 10 days ago - we switched to a generic brand that costs about $20 and which our vet told us should not be any problem. Four days ago - I went and got the insulin that we had her on before switching - thinking that the generic brand may be the issue. Yesterday she started showing signs of coming back to us and this morning - well she showed up in the tying room where I was finishing this tie up with her tail wagging. She walked over and picked up a pheasant tail that was laying on the floor and ran out the room. I believe my girl is back.
 
So I was figuring out what to call this one. Here's what I came up with.....

    Awesome story behind the tie man and the fly is beautiful.

    The moment of truth. Where all other things unconsciously melt away from our minds the instant a fish takes our fly. We stand there on the water with wide eyes, caught in a battle stance with an idea of confidence and hope
