Thank you Christine. I really enjoy reading your articles! I have a lab pup who is in training to be my service dog. In our play time, I am able to exercise her with the ATV (I use oxygen) and she thrills my heart because she is such a natural bird dog. She is not being trained in this regard because she has a job to do, but we both get so much joy hunting together. Her nose is to the ground and she she stops, sniffs the air and then jumps off the trail into the brush, I get my .22 ready. She is very excited to get the guts from the field dressing! I use the feathers for my limited trapline - if I am not setting traps then I am dead - and I eat the rest. Such an awesome relationship between Bella and I. Keep writing!!
