November 26

Picked up a 7.5 pound mini-dachshund from Joe Dorrian at the NAFA meet in Woodward. Joe called her Chance, but, I call her Chase. Whatever her name, I hooked her up with telemetry, after introducing her to Okie and feeling certain that Okie would not try to catch her in the field, and off we went. The first night she followed me along like a little puppy and did little hunting. But, the second night she turned on and actually found a few rabbits under the cedar trees. She has the cutest yip when she is on one. But, the cedar trees were so thick, Okie didn't even see them. I was pleased that she was venturing out and working. Okie contends with her in the field, which is good. And Kate is still healing up. I hope to have her in the field soon.
