Took Roy and Ruby to the vegetable garden. 5 minutes passed & Roy fell treed. Ruby checked it and went back on trail, Roy left and followed here. I suspect it was slick. They trailed for a while near the ditch. Lot's of little potholes filled with water this time of year & they were struggling. Finally they treed. Ruby treed hard for a while & then left, Roy stayed. He had the coon. I shocked Ruby back into the tree. She thought about leaving again, stopped, looked at me and then went back to treeing.
I remembered a night in almost exactly the same in this spot years ago. Bob treed and Mabel treed and then she took off. I didn't have a shock collar that night so I had to run her down and bring her back. Ruby looked a lot like Mable tonight.
