A Great Time To Be A Dog

The dogs act nearly manic as we release them from their tethers. It becomes a race to see which fruit tree they go to first. Jackson heads to the nearest plum tree and starts hoovering as quickly as possible, while Butler prefers a ripe apple or pear to begin his day.

Before long, both dogs are all hopped up on natural sugar and it becomes hard to get them to settle down to get in their positions on the Gator until we start the motor. In an instant both dogs settle in and expect to ride across the road before being allowed to follow the same ‘fruit circuit’ as the main herd.
They check the plum trees and the apple trees, the pear and the crab apple before they make a crazy dash to catch up with the Gator as we motor across the bridge.
All in all, it’s a pretty good day for the dogs.
