A man with 20# to lose to get a bird dog

That is remarkable. I think thats worth at least 2 dogs.

Thanks for all the posts. I am looking forward to meeting some of guys and especially your dogs. I appreciate all your encouragement, although those of you who say I should get both a kid and a puppy must have more energy than me... Training a pup and taking care of a baby at the same time sounds rough. Have any of you succeeded at that? btw as of today I am down 20# since June 1. Still have plenty to lose

A man w/ your motivation will do fine w/ the baby and the dog at the same time. Strap the kid to your chest w/ one of those mommy vest thingies and get out there w/ the dog. No, you won't have as much time as you'd like for training your dog, but get the basic obedience stuff out of the way and get the pup in the field. That's where they get their most important education IMO.

Congrats on losing that weight. I imagine it is quite a challenge. My son keeps harping on me about quitting the cigs, but I seem to be too weak at this time. Maybe I'll reach down deep enough to find what you and BB have found.

CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU GUYS! NOTHING SHORT OF INSPIRATIONAL:cheers:
