FISHING WITH BODHI


This morning we went fishing, and I forgot to take the camera.  I could have done a whole study on fishing with Bodhi.  He stands in the water and watches the end of the fishing line waiting for a fish to strike.  If you don't catch something within a few minutes he starts whining with impatience.  If you don't catch anything for a long time he almost howls!  This is our dog who hardly ever barks.  When at last he loses interest, he goes to the bank to pull out roots and sticks.  Of course, he must swim out occasionally to check on things, and that's usually when he swims downstream into the backs of my legs and nearly throws me off balance.  At one point he was watching my line carefully and there was a dragonfly perched on his head.  I would have won a photo contest for that one.  It's tough having your dog criticize your fishing.
