Well August must not be my month....
Last weekend got 3 dogs cut. 2 pretty bad but they are coming along just fine. Wednesday morning went to same spot as previous weekend and my lucky dog struck a good boar. Walked in within 10 yards but never could see the hog, sent pearl in and he chunked her straight up in the air and never seen him again. Lucky tracked him all the way back where she started him little over a mile away. Pulled up to the creek and she was laying at the bank licking a wound. The hog had nearly gutted her, her stomach lining was hanging out so I pushed it back up inside her best I could and wrapped her in a shirt and took her to the vet. Overnight stay and 500 bucks later she's doing fine and back home. But wait there's more.......
Thursday- my brother wants to go again but I'm completely outta dogs at this point. 1 started pup and a stove up bulldog is all I have, so I get on the phone and a friend says to use his dogs. They need to get out of the kennels to shaping up so we head to another spot and start huntin. It's not long before The 2 gyps bay one. As we're headed to them the old gyp Kate lets out a Yelp and the hog breaks and she stays with him but starts falling behind the other gyp. Well we catch up to her and she's been cut behind the shoulder. He had cut the meat between the ribs and busted that lining, so air was coming out of her side. So we catch other dog and head back to the vet. Bet said with her age and the operation she had to do that she didn't think Kate was going to make it but she pulled through and another 150 bucks later Kate's at home resting up to hunt another day. If I can ever get these dogs healed up, I'm gonna have a bounty on a couple rank boar hogs lol
Money is something we can replace but these 2 dogs that both had close calls are 2 of a kind that cannot... I'm so thankful for the man above to have been looking out for me this week. Can't wait to get these dogs healed up right and get back to catching some swine.
