Sad Sack

Jackson the dog had a long, tough hay season just like the rest of us did. Normally he is a bundle of energy from daybreak until the dark, but he seems to be slowing down a bit.

As a precaution, we tether the dogs on the Gator when it is time to cross the county road or when we go up the road to the other fields. There is just no telling when a random scent or a kamikaze chipmunk could distract either dogs leading to dog projectiles flying off the Gator and into danger.

On the last day of hay season, Jackson was so tired that he barely had enough energy to jump into the bed of the Gator.  When I tethered him, he give his normal shake and the tether looped around his head. Instead of tipping it off, he just gave me the look of utter despair as if he did not have enough strength to drop his head down to drop the leash off his head. (You can just see the top of Butler’s head from his assigned position in the front of the Gator, he almost looks like Gilroy was Here posters).

Between fits of laughter I snapped a few pics, which seemed to put Jackson into a tired funk and I really got the sad dog look. I was forgiven when I added a juicy dog bone to the served meal that evening and that sad sack of a dog perked right up along with his brother.
