I took Ruby to the easy spot alone Thursday night. I was really surprised by the conditions when I arrived. The snow was still pretty deep and crusty. It would just about hold me up as I walked. So I was really getting a workout when I walked. It was cold too, not good conditions for a pup at all. I let her go at a path at the edge of the woods. She took off pretty good, I didn't see her for quite a while. I used the tracker & found that she wasn't too far away. I figure as she gains confidence she will start to cover a lot more ground. She came into me while I walked the fence line. I cut back into the woods and she took off again. I circled around and headed back to the truck. I tracked her some more & it seemed like she was making a wider circle in about the same direction. By the time I got back to the truck she was already on the road nearby & I was able to catch her. I don't think I'll try thios again until I have a better handle on where some easy coons are.
