Thanks everyone. The only downside to that trip was coming home. Andy would stress to me that we would get up at 4:30. I was always up at 3:45 or 4:00 am. It takes me longer to collar up dogs and to get ready.
If I want things to go wrong, all I have to do is leave town. My dog Yellow got loose and I had pictures of him headed out the driveway. He came up to a guys house around 2:00pm and he called me. He lives about 2 miles north of me. We dont hunt to close to my house because the hogs always run north and the club's boundary is about 3/4 of a mile north of me . I called Cheryl and she went and got him. Well she does not know enough about dogs to tell that he was having a heat stroke and she put him up. Anyway when she came out to feed him about three hours later, he was dead. He was 6 years old. Fortunately I have several dogs off of him.
Then a couple days before I came home my better half Cheryl gets snake bit while cleaning out a old doghouse. She was wearing gloves and jerked her hand back when she felt the bite and heard it rustling in the hay. When she pulled her glove off there was only one puncture that had a few drops of blood. My daughter drove her to the hospital where she received 3 doses of Crofab anti venom and she spent 2 days in the hospital.
