Took ol' Sadie girl out this weekend with a 3 other Walkers. 2 nite champs and one grand nite champ. I figure once we turned loose she would run 50 yards and come back to me but I was wrong. She ran all night with the others and never thought about staying by my side.
On the last drop, she strayed away from the pack and caught a track of a coon. She opened up for the first time! Watched her from my Garmin, as the other dogs came to her to back her up. By this time all 4 of them are opened up and she was the first to tree! She made me proud. I don't care how girly her 9 month old howl was.
