Kevin - you write the BEST stories!

Yes, I agree, dachshunds are the evil geniuses of the dog world. And, as long as you don't get between them and any thing they consider food, they will defend you to death.

Our little weiner is 10 years old, still thinks she is a puppy, still knows how to play the "cute card" when she gets into trouble, and still thinks she is the terror of the neighborhood.

Heck, yeah! Don't you?

Well, there you have it.
If I'm gonna compete with the big dogs, then I'm gonna have to teach my weiner to sing.

He had a singing daschund..if that matters.

I think we need to know more about that. Are you talking about a real live singing weenie dog?

In my opinion, that's just too many. I like to think my CHL classes are more of a personal experience, where everyone feels comfortable with asking questions, and I know everyone's name before the day is over.

My absolute top stop is 20 students. Any more than that, and I don't think you got your money's worth of the instructor's time and attention.

Sorry for so many questions. I take the class next Saturday and am getting some butterflies!

JRG - the shooting part of the class is something everyone worries about and something no one should! If you can load a magazine, fire five rounds on command and reload, then you will be just fine.

Heck, I have even passed folks who could not load a magazine, but that's another story.

The target is a BIG silhouette, and your scoring area is huge. Let us know how you did on it, cause I will bet pass with flying colors!

You know, I may not always look real good, but at least I try to smell purty! That guy must not charge enough for classes if he can't even afford toothpaste and soap.

A BIG second from me!

I like the idea, but I don't think it would be manageable for me.

However, I do arrange my lesson plan so that shooting comes right after lunch. It seems to help by breaking up the classroom part and the students manage to stay awake better for the afternoon session.

Not that my classes are boring! But, you all know you can only take so much!

Man, that is the FIRST time I have ever heard that!
