hunting test

Today we went to a real hunting performance test.  It wuz so much fun.  I got to run second.  It wuz so windy and misty, and also kind of cold too.  mudder told me to go find some hippities.

I checked in my favorite place first--the rubbage pits.

no hippities there.  so I hunted all over the prairies.

  nothing there either.  so then I checked out the yucca patch.

all of a sudden, someone announced "TALLEY HO"!!!  and I smelled it---a hippity on the run!

Mudder helped me find the line and I was off!  I gave voice and worked and worked and worked to follow it!  the next thing I knew, I heard a gun shot.  I stopped working for a second, but then I got right back to bizness.  I tracked that hippity right to it's hole in the ground.  when we got back to the house everyone wuz happy and me and mudder got our pitcher taken togedder with the judges.  I earned a ribbon and my second leg towards my hunting hound title!  

this pitcher is funny becuz it looks like I am giving voice to the hippity on the sign.  

thin after lunch I got to go back out and hunt with my buddy Thumper!

he tried to hump me first, but then we headed out togedder to find some hippities.

we checked the rubbage piles again, but still didn't find innything.  I went over by the yuccas again and kicked up a couple during the next liddle while.  it wuz so fun!!

hunting is my favorite thing to do!!
