Sitting in the sage with the engine running, headlamps on bright.

Quail hunting today with my 15-year-old Scout, and my 1-year-old Jet, both Springers.

About noon, Scout was right behind me as I broke through some knee-high sagebrush, and she was looking for a way through.

Turned around to whistle up Jet, and as she is coming in I turn back around, and Scout is gone.

Just gone. Been looking for her all day …not a sign of her.

Poor old girl is deaf and half blind.

Now it’s dark in coyote country …

Would appreciate some mojo sent this way. Gonna go run the roads again and see if I find her.

Damn!
