The Rainbow Bridge We had our Brittany cross the Rainbow Bridge last year. Ginger was part of the family. Now we have a new dog, Josie, a 13 year old rescued Golden Retriever. We think she was sent by God. We are 84 and 82 and are losing some of our swiftness. :)

I am sorry I was banned. I will try and obey the rules and not talk of real estate. I don't remember it but I am sorry. Am I back on or what do I do next? Bruce McLeland

Please don't think I am crazy but I have had 4 surgeries on my spine (fuseing 2-3;3-4;4-5 and a hematoma). I have a great Winchester 12 Ga. pump but the Dr. won't let me shoot it. He did say I could go with a 20 Ga. but that is not really a duck or goose gun. Any thoughts on how I could shoot...

I live in Arizona and had my dog snake trained so she will avoid snakes. The trainer had a large rattle snake in a cooler. He put a shock collar on Ginger and then let the snake out. Ginger started right after the snake and he hit her with a shock that caused her to do a summersalt. She still...

My dog scratched her cornea and it was a cost and much treatment by the vet to take care of it. This year I put her in goggles which she hates but I hope it helps.

Hi Free: I love Goldens. My first dog was a Golden, Ginger who was a great hunter. We bred her to Righty all ready of Mpls and my brother took a male pup. That dog was fantastic. He trained her to crawl along with him on pothole crawls and as a general hunting dog he was outstanding on ducks...

Ok Bob, will do, Thanks

You have some fine dogs, all of you. My avatar will give you all a laugh. One trip to SD Ginger jumped out of a pickup after a pheasant and badly injured her right hip. My fault for not holding her. Lot of vet bills and lots of recoup time.The next trip she poked a stick in her eye and scratched...

Hi birdshooter: I know you are right. I guess I am looking for the old days that no longer exist. I will check out SW and West Central on the web and see what I can find. Thanks and good luck to you this weekend.

Hi Kal: I live in Prescott, AZ so once I get back to MN it doesn't matter where I go. It is just that I grew up hunting in the Montevideo area. What suggestions do you have.

Thanks Wirehairs and FCSpringer: I will check those out if and when I can get out there. I still can hunt in SD five more days but I will try another area if I am able to go

Hi birdshooter: Yes, you may ask. I grew up there and my Dad, Uncle, and two brothers went down there every weekend when we weren't hunting ducks up North more. My brother still lives in Mpls and it would be fun to relive some of those great hunts. South Dakota was very disappointing this year...

Hi Quailhound: What I want to do is put up a picture like your quail that will go with all my posts. Thanks for your suggestions. I will work on it.

Thanks tOlzon: That is our family's stomping ground for Pheasants. This was years ago and it sounds like it is coming back.

Thanks Bobeyerite: I checked out the link and I printed it out to work with when I have and hour or two. :-)
