rain and falling autumn leaves can make it very difficult to find a naughty dog hiding in the woods
today was one of those times. eventually i found him, chewing on a big bone. fortunately it didn't smell too bad, and it wasn't too difficult to persuade the naughty old man to bury it for a possible future of starvation. he's very good at burying bones, our dog! i must admit i'm quite proud of him.
...and if he should ever have to face starvation he probably has enough bones in the woods around here to keep both himself and three or four of his closest girlfriends satisfied at least a month :)
