This little story is not connected, but just remembered this from two days ago with him coming back soaked. Tracking in field with Blast and had a sudden unexpected 'visit'.
Interesting
‘event’ on Blasts’ track in next field after the class Wednesday.
Thought you might enjoy ‘our near miss’....
He started with his head held high, right at the scent pad, moving out
along the leg, and looking around.
Very odd, couldn’t figure out what the heck he was doing....thinking about
pulling him off if he didn’t change.
He was dead on the track, but how, I don’t know.
Just before the first corner, what do we see in some taller grass only 3 to 4
feet to the right................a skunk!!!!!!
Yikes!
Much to my amazement, he didn’t try to charge over, or even bark, we both
stopped dead and looked at it. (This is Blast! He was very calm)
I then pulled him off and to the left to see what the skunk was up to, and
still, much to my amazement...Blast just looked.
This was a bigger surprise than initially seeing the skunk!
Skunk then walked toward ditch and we went to the second leg and Blast just
started tracking...like he always does.
Thank goodness, nothing happened, but it was interesting!
