Critter In There

About the story from 7/10 about the riddle, we have been getting some really good guesses in about how many bales are in the hayfield we are currently working on. Get your guess in before time runs out, we hope to have a total by tomorrow. Good Luck!

Butler the farm dog looks very calm and meager. Looks can be very deceiving. When he gets a scent of a ground dwelling critter, especially something tasty like a gopher, he goes nose deep and more.

While Mike was fluffing the hay field, Butler had found a scent and started digging between wind rows. Every round of the field Mike would shout at him to quit making holes where we needed to drive. Each round, Butler would pull his head up for a moment to acknowledge the hollering before going back to digging.

Dirt was flying, the activity could be seen from across the field. When Butler finally stopped he had dug a hole that was big enough for him to disappear into. We don’t think he ever caught up with the critter but we are sure he scared him.

Before we could drive around the field we had to fill in the hole. Good thing we always carry a shovel on the Gator for just such emergencies.
