Congrats, Jim. Good luck with her. She is a keeper. It gets real bad the first time she says dadda. That's when it all goes down hill. If your not hooked already.

Couldn't think of a better christmas present.

Thanks guys. it has been a crazy week, with christmas and the new baby and everything else that has been going on around here.

I am holding off on bird and gun intro until she settles down a little bit on the chain gang, but she is coming along nicely, and she really likes to go for a ride in the car :D.

This is something that we both were chomping at the bit for and we could not be happier.

I hope every one had a wonderful holiday and that every one has a safe new year.

Jim

Congratulations, Jim. I had my daughters help plant birds and accompany me to hunt tests. Now at nearly 20 years old, they still enjoy shooting targets and love my new Shorthair puppy. Let them spend time with you doing something you can both enjoy!!!

My daughter is long past 14 and doesn't read this forum so I guess it is safe to pass this training tip along. I followed the practice of generally not acknowledging the existence of a young male calling upon my daughter. One once observed "you don't particularly care for me do you Mr. Tomlinson?" I replied, "I figure you are like all the rest and will not be around long enough for me to develop a rooting interest one way or the other." Seemed to be fairly effective.

And not to hijack the thread. Congrats on your beautiful daughter Jimbo.

Heck, if I didnt like a gent that was after the daughter, I would tell her how much I liked the lad :) how I wondered if he hunted and fished, well he was not to be seen with her again :) I really like the lad she is dating now so I dont offer anything to her :) he is from montana after all.
