I had a coon so I thought I'd go to the vegetable garden and restock. I picked up Pete on the way. I sent it north and it ran in a straight line just where I wanted. I waited a few minutes & then sent Duke, waited, sent Josie, waited & sent Nitro. They were racing around and then got quiet. What I didn't know was that a wall of grass in the shape of a horseshoe had grown up at the end of the field. Before I knew it the dog had picked up the trail but they were southeast now and heading right for Georges place. I ran back to the truck a, backed out and headed for his place. I stopped at the end of his driveway and got out. Darn, the dogs had blown through his place, made hook and were southwest of me & screaming around Dougs place. I hopped back in the truck and headed back and took a turn on the Easy Spot road. I was able to nab Nitro & then Josie as they tried to cross the road & get into Earls. Duke was straggling a little so I drove away. There on the road Pete was by Dougs. He caught Duke following the truck. I would have liked to let them work this out but they were right in the middle of all the houses. Well, at least they got their exercise & Pete got a good laugh watching me fumble around. I guess I increased the population too.
