re: How to get a squirrel dog back in the game after being bit?? **STORY UPDATED**

She had tree'd 6 squirrel and was barking again. But it wasn't her normal bark. Dad figured it was a neutra or a beaver. By the time he got to her she was crossing a lily covered bayou. He tried to call her back, used the whistle, she wouldn't have it. He tried to make her sit once she got to the other bank as she barked twords the water and had her front legs in. She continued to bark as he ran to the boat to retrieve her. About halfway to the boat she finished off her barking with a loud yelp. He hauled arse but it was to late. He searched and called for her with no luck. He's been training the 2 pups for over a year, they have helped him recover from a bad auto accident. It was a rough day for him and Marie. I only hope Gaston (the male) steps up and get back in it. She was the champ out of the 2, after Gaston got bit he lost all interest in chasing squirrel.
