Digg'n out my small pond...

Re: Digg\'n out my small pond...

Our retriever has never like my bota. She isn't shy around gas engines (mowers/tillers), but for some reason, that diesel makes her skittish. Don't know if it hurts her ears or what, but she keeps her distance, even when it is not running.

Dunno, maybe she thinks it's a big orange CAT!

My Lab doesn't like my Kubota... it's one of the few things that she's jealous of. Even when I'm felling trees she'll wait at a safe distance, then come running when the saw shuts offf; but when I'm on the tractor she'll lay there sulking, or often wander back to the house because she can't get near me. One year I took some time off and spent a week digging, cutting wood, and generally creating blissful mayhem. After about 4 days I was ready to take her to the vet because she was so lethargic. Took her to the lake instead, and she returned to her usual active self.

Ponds and Dogs just go together. My Lab is with me most of the time and if I'm going Bush Hogging, dropping trees, etc. leave her home for safety. I swear she sounds like a baby crying when she knows she can't go. Attaching a pic of her "Hunting Frogs" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif in one of my ponds. She's good on pheasants and grouse, but no slouch bringing home the frogs. Gotta love those dogs.
