Mary's first hog adventure...

So, we caught a hog in a trap today... sounds pretty easy, right? Wrong!! Leave it to me and Mary to make things so much more complicated than they really are...

So this is the hog...
 
To understand this story, you must first understand the building of this trap. The door opens repeatedly from tthe outside, but you cannot open it once inside. So, we had the dogs on the back of the truck when we rode by the hog. They noticed it, but they didn't jump off after it. We decided to let the dogs off and get in the pond to cool down. Well, that was a bad idea. Jase took off, but i was able to call him back. Later, they were running off through the woods so we cranked off and begin to drive away because they always come back to me leaving them. They come right on back, right past us, and straight to the hog. We got there in time to keep Jase out, but we were too late for Charlie. He had already found the door and was inside with the hog. It felt like an hour before dad arrives, but it was only like 5 minutes. He caught, and got plenty of practice. This is what both looked like afterwards....
 

None of that blood is his...



sticking his tongue out at that hog

Oh, and this Mary... Hiding behind the truck... :)
