TD why would you worry about a Aussie chasing deer? Mine looks at them everyday. TD these dogs are smart. Just say no to them and they won't do it. That is why they make good herding dogs. Mine has been within 50 foot of them and I tell her no and she stands there and looks at them. They are very smart. You really should let Linda have one. Looks like rain all day and night. There goes my hunt with Bill tonight. Makes me madder than hell. Like hunting with him and the places he takes me.

Mornin' everyone....... Mike I don't want snoop dog to get another dog to get to runnin' trash is my concern. And I don't need a guard dog if I have to keep it pinned up. Snoop stays home if she aint got nobody to run with, turn another dog loose and it's off they go.

I have a lot of pups on farms and they don't run off. They stay right on the property. Aussies are very smart. What kind of dog is snoop? They run with other dogs and never go off the place. You wouldn't have to pen one up. Believe I know been raising these dogs and people that bought from us never pen theirs up. Have one customer has one and she is with a yard dog and it is gone most of the time but the Aussie is there all the time. They are big farmers.

Mike maybe it won't rain and you will get to go! I don't think your getting anywhere with TD about pup Might as well give it up! He says when something happens to one of our dogs then maybe we will get one. Snoop is part walker and english shepard if I remember right. If I work with her a little bit I might be able to get her to do some herding. She will go into the pen with me if I let her. Suppose to be raining here too but haven't seen anything yet. Morning Everyone!!

We were hunting flat land corn and milo fields standing in about a foot of water out of a side by side farthest we walked was 165yards that was because of ditches to deep to cross.

Got back from Effinburg, just a little slick out there. Bill if you had a 4 legged mule you could have crossed them ditches. Need to get a couple so Mike would have one to ride when he went with you.

They make draft mules!! Bill I'm pretty good at sewing I could probably make Mike a Carhart dress since his calico one doesn't work so well!! Couldn't help it Mike just couldn't resist Linda
P.S. The weather has sucked here today sleet and slush everywhere it ought to be a nice mess in the morning. Hopefully the weatherman is right and it will get above 40 tomorrow and melt all this stuff!!!!!
