In His Element

black and white dogOur two farm dogs don’t act like they are related and they really don’t act like they were out of the same litter. The are as different as can be.

Butler the mild mannered, more timid of the two is a demon when he is on the scent of a critter such as a gopher, quail or coyote. His does not like to give up even when he has been digging holes for hours, or chasing well past the fence lines. Butler does not like to get his paws wet in puddles or in the river.

dog in riverJackson, the wild one, likes to fling himself into the Gator or into the river. Sometimes it works out well but sometimes he flops tremendously but it doesn’t  deter him from doing it the next time. When he wants a drink, he throws himself into the stream and gets nearly to swimming before he laps up a good few swallows. When coaxed out of the water he does not shake off until he is in the bed of the Gator where he wets the Gator and any passengers sitting in the front.

The river is Jackson’s happy place and most days from late February until November he can be found near or in the river at every opportunity.
