If I had to label which seasons I enjoy the most, I think I would put Spring, second, right after Fall. It was a beautiful day to be out and about. The signs of Winter's end was all about. The birds were singing, the geese were honking, and the turkeys were gobbling. Need I mention that the temperature outside was 50+ degrees this morning?! I have a break today from work and school and figured I would go explore a buddy's property. Two times, he has taken a limit of 5 rabbits off of it and I figured this would be the best bet for finding Dahlia a rabbit. We found at least 4! One, right as we got out of the car...it was hiding in a clump about 10 feet a way. Dahlia showed great interest in following the track! I have to say that she did quite well for her first experience. She was a little distracted at times, but I have to say there was a lot of scent around. I could not believe the amount of rabbit pellets on the ground. I was able to refocus her several times and she showed a willingness to work for me. I would say her longest track was about 50 yards. Her improvement will only come with more experiences and time; I have more plans to visit this piece of ground in the near future! One area that I was impressed with was Dahlia's ability to worm her way into the brush piles. As you can see from the pictures below, she was working quite hard for me.
