Not Hunting: Someone Tell the Dog

I was walking the dogs and checking on an eagle nest when Moxie found a possum. I could not understand why she didn’t pull it, but when she finally broke off, it was self-evident: the hole was cross-braced by a two-inch thick root. Not sure how the possum got in, but it was not coming out that way. Moxie was no worse for wear — not a mark on her. That said, never pull on a dog that is gripping unless you can see who has who — you don’t want to pull your dog’s face off. The possum was left in the hole; no digging on this day.
