Nice looking happy girl, GJW. I'll bet there's more than a few of us who didn't get anything our first hunt. I was lucky enough though; a rabbit on the first shot with my new H&R single 20 full choke.

You need to try some Ribose with Duchess. It's a unique sugar that fuels the heart with a quicker recovery time. My old Lab would be wiped out for a day after a hunt. After giving her Ribose she was up and around to almost normal after 3-4 hours rest. My first couple hunts of a new season my groin would be sore, but not after taking Ribose before and after the hunt. It prevents lactic acid build up.

It's used by many heart patients to give the heart more energy and when the heart has more energy you do to. It's a unique sugar that actually may make blood sugar go down.

I get mine from Swansonvitamins or Puritan Pride on line. I buy the plastic container with the scoop inside. It's amazing stuff.
