Almost lost the pup this weekend. Luckily the fresh falling snow allowed for some good tracking. Sometimes this dog really worries me with his unbridled enthusiasm. Once he's in the mode, he's as good as gone. Never seen anything like it. But when he's on his "A" game I've never seen a pup as good either.

For the rest of the season we will be chasing devil birds in earnest. We'll see how it goes.
