November 30

I continue to take Okie out everyday. Today she has had some very nice, but tough flights on rabbits in thick cover. I was able to see every one of them, and enjoyed watching her, but, when she caught CT#4 I missed it (isn’t that the way it goes). I again struggled to find her with the Tracker, as she was in heavy cover, and these Tracker’s send a pretty strong signal up close even when turned way down. Anyway, by the time I found her she had eaten the whole head and a front quarter of the CT; and, of course, I had to feed her a bit more up on the fist. So, we may not be hawking tomorrow, as I have been flying her over her over her baseline weight. But, knowing me, I will take her out, regardless

Little Chase is a trooper in the field. She has a good nose and only gets going on fresh scent, which is, of course, good also. Yesterday, she got about four rabbits moving. I’m pleased with her in the field. She is, however, a bit neurotic if left alone in her crate, or even if put outside alone. She has, obviously, always been around other dogs. Kate’s leg is still healing, but, I think she will be in the field again by the end of the week.
