I thought about who to take for a long time. I finally loaded Mabel and Ruby and headed for the vegetable garden. I sent them along the ditch about 11:00 pm. Ruby struck in the first woods and shortly after Mabel struck in the north woods. Ruby trailed down the ditch to the west edge of the north woods. Mabel trailed and treed in the east edge of the north woods. I had to follow Ruby to see what she was up to. She finally stopped and was barking, but it sounded funny. When I got there she was barking into a fallen tree. I pulled her away & looked in to find a huge possum. I scolded her a little and walked her to Mabels tree. A small funny looking tree right where two ditches came together. I looked anyway & finally saw the coon. I let Ruby tree with her for a little while and headed home. At least Ruby runs her own track.
