I guess I can't even win for losing this week.
I had a caged coon so I thought I'd give Nitro an easy night out.
I picked up Pete & we went up and got Bill at the farm.
We let the coon go then sent Pearl, Duke, Josie and Nitro in.
Josie grabbed a tree, the other dogs wouldn't tree with her but they wouldn't get out of the area either. I got to her and Nitro was opening farther down the line by then so she went to him.
They had screwed around enough by then that the coon had gotten down into the swamp.
I could just hear the track falling apart in the mud.
They had 1/2" of rain jsut before I arrived.
Nitro finally treed but it was weak.
It was a miserable walk to him.
I didn't see a coon & I don't think he had it.
But... there was no way I was going to send him on in that.
I guess I'll stick to the vegetable garden the rest of this week and work on accuracy.
This happens every year when the season changes from spring to summer.
It's summer now & the dogs will just have to adjust.
