Time to man up. Lot a rain yesterday. Feral hogs will be running. Gonna try to get two with the dogs and my Rossi 92 in 45 Colt about four this morning. Come back and trade stock until about 10.

She's a smooth coat, prick eared, weird girl. Got five crosses back to Wiston Cap and Thomas' Don.  She's four and she won't breed, meaning she won't stand when in heat. I don't get it. But I'm not forcing anything. She gets what she wants.

Heading to the bottom with Gael, Anatolian wolf dog Bear, American Bulldog Buster, and tracking coondog Wolf. That's quite an advantage, but that what you think about in advance. Had to work and train these boys and girls. Gonna get some meat.

Missed a big sow at about 60 feet. Scattered. I suck.

Went again this morning before dawn. Saw nothing but does and fawns. Gonna get me some curs and train em up.

Don't get me wrong. Border Collie Gael is probably the best dog I've ever had. Smarter than a whip. Responds instantly to everything I command. Thinks on her own. Gathers stock from a mile.  She doesn't track.

Walker Wolf best tracking dog I ever had, but I can't give him a command to track what. Coondogs don't take commands. They go and that's it. Favorite dog was a border collie I named Nietzsche who would get the mail for me. He'd find my keys when I told him. Unfortunately he couldn't herd well. Strange. He was weak on the push. Never understood it. I'd give him two repetitions on anything and he could do it. Mail, diapers, keys, frisbees, boy literally tried to figure out anything I wanted and did it as far as an intelligent dog could. Bought him for 100 in Los Lunas, New Mexico in September 1998 day before he turned six weeks old. Came to me first when I called the puppies in the litter and I took him. He was in my lap when Rickey killed the Aggies in November 1998. Never experienced another being like him.

Nietzsche had a complete white head, which is unusual for a border collie. He could take multiple word commands consistently. Border collies can take commands every second consecutively all day long. He took multiple commands at once " "Get back and look..." "Find girl, come back..."
