quote:Originally posted by Mike Milam I shot my dog. Just kidding. I wanted to. It wasn't good. First turn out she came back and had rolled in **** or guts. It was caked on her collar.Then my Garmin quit working. Then when it was her turn again to be turned out send her in there she struck went in some where around 600 yards and sat down and treed. Bill and I jumped in the truck trying to get closer and we had to go back where we turned her loose and walked in from there. Made it 300 yards and the bitch left the tree. I was really boiling by now. She went in another 300 yards by this time she was over 900 yards. We drove to a boat ramp where we got within 300 yards again and I hit the shock collar and she didn't yell. Must have had it to loose. Finally I got her a couple of times and finally got her back. Eight year old dog act like a idiot. I will let Bill tell you what his done.
Mine got a slick tree and a den tree. then after Mike went home licking his wonds sent mine from the house she got deep with a triple. Mike didnt take all the bad luck home with whon I got to the tree ole Bill Ruger( mark one made in 1976) laid down and died on me so not only did not get a coon down to her now its a trip to the gunsmith but it was still enjoyable.

I think she took a good dipping in the Lake before she came back to us. The smell was gone. I just washed my tracking collar and shock collar in the washing machine. I tried putting her in but the wife stop me. Bill might be in the hospital. That coughing blood hasn't stopped. Waiting on the doctor to call and see.

After a ct scan and a dye test it showed that I have a bronchitis infection. My sugar drop to 61 and worked on me for 30 minutes trying to get it up. What a morning I had. Temperature is dropping and the wind is out of the north.

If he went hunting he might had got caught in the heavy rain.
Bill you wet or dry.
