Sun is setting a lot earlier, fall is approaching. Took Josie to the river and put her on a "hot" one. She ran it well and treed HARD. It was early so I sent her along the north entrance strip. She struck right away but struggled with the track....
She took it out in the swamp & fumbled around for about an hour. I didn't have any faith in her being able to tree this one so I just drove around for a while to pass the time. Ran into the farmer from Brazil & talked for a few minutes. When I went back to the drop spot Josie was there. Kind of nice to have a dog that comes back for a change.
I don't hold it against her for not treeing on this drop. Many more experienced dogs have failed in that swamp. She'll be a better dog for having tried.
