I took Mabel and Ruby to the vegetable garden about 11:50. I let Ruby loose first and Mabel right away after. No babbling. I heard Ruby first about 1/2 mile north. Mabel might have been barking too but Ruby is pretty loud & it was windy. If Ruby really got the strike in that section over Mabel, she's the 1st ever. Anyway, Ruby sounded stationary & Mabel was trailing to the left still. I tried to get to Ruby but she left. Mabel treed and Ruby backed her. THe coon was there. This is an area where sveral ditches come together. Likely Ruby was just hung up on one of them & finally swam to get to Mabels tree.
