Pearl & Ruby
I've been out a few times but missed making entries. Rather than try to create entries for those old drops, I am just going to pick up starting with today.
So here goes.
I put Pearl and Ruby on a hot one in the corn. They caught up to it and were fighting a little. They are too samll to kill a coon on the ground so I walked out in the corn to them. The coon made it's getaway when I got close. Ruby made a loop and picked up the track. She worked it to the woods and treed weakly. Pearl was confused and wouldn't commit to the tree. I saw the coon.
This was a very nice job by Ruby. I've seen lots of dogs screw up a chase like this down on the river. Hopefully Pearl learned a little bit from her sister tonight.

Dale came down with Ruby. Walked the corn, spotted a coon and knocked it out. Pearl and Ruby struck a while later and ended up treeing on the same tree. Sent them on, they treed by the parking lot and had one. I'll hunt Ruby and Pearl this summer. They make a nice tema and should be lots of fun.
