Sounds like very well trained dogs there Birdy. Usually they're wanting out of the area, yesterday.
My heelers? More like blissful ignorance on their part
I dunno if a lion smell is substantively different from a regular cat to a dog that has never run into one.
The one dog especially sticks unusually close when danger is possible, so much so that when she starts dogging my footsteps while looking off into the brush I know that SOMETHING sizeable is out there, usually hogs, sometimes a trailing coyote.
Smart move on her part, I'm the one with all the firepower
