[The Old Man]

  Update on the bulldog, it was his first trip with us muleback. He didn't try to catch a mule haha, I didn't think he would as I'd exposed him at home, also had a collar on him set on cowboy high with my finger on the button, he followed off leash extremely well with very little correction, and still caught hard. I did send him once to a bay in the briars amongst the shoat excursion we had, from about 40 yds and it broke before he got in there and he did run with the dogs awhile until he caught a shoat on his own, he is an open trailing bulldog haha. I had taken the collar off of him so it wouldn't get torn up. I'll have break him to come back if a hog breaks on the way in.  He got lots of exercise though, we rode 13.8 miles besides the little extra he got running with the baydogs. So far so good for Ol'Blue.
