Hate to see him shut down mid season, glad he’s not worse, and happy he may be in action for the Super Bowl of squirrel hunting.

A lot on yer plate right now... yer OK.Lol, DUH! I should have known that.
I'm very proud of Slick. He has been super good with his foot. He is a high energy dog but has done a good job of relaxing, not licking or chewing his foot and taking the meds. He does not like the cone of shame one little bit, lol. I swear he knows that we are back in the woods as soon as he is healed up. I have kept a boot on his foot whenever we go outside, which he hates, but puts up with it. We have gone for several leashed walks, and yesterday I let him off of the lead and he was like a kid in a candy store. I suppose the timing could have been worse as we had to take these four days off anyhow. His foot looks great and has healed up really well. I'm taking him to the vet on Tuesday (day 14) to remove sutures and make sure we are good to go. Back to work next week, I hope. 
Cleared for takeoff.
There is a nice bike path on the way to the vet, so we stopped on the way home for some fresh air. Slick could not wait until tomorrow, lol. Got himself a double at the bike path.
Back in the saddle tomorrow.

Squirrels not out today. No fresh tracks in the three woods we visited. Dogs floundered the whole day. Saw one squirrel and it got to live. I'm pretty sure Slick winded that one. Slick has a sore and tender foot now, but he ran his ass off today and couldn't hardly find anything to bark about. Rest that foot tomorrow. Try again on Friday.

Squirrels out some today. Slick treed 5 and I killed them all. He was hunting really slow (for him) today. I think he figured something out. He now has a recognizable bark when he is winding a squirrel, which he did three times today. Had ourselves a nice hunt in the snow.
I got Lefty to lick the squirrel brains off the side of Slick’s head when we got home.

Nice! What kind of vest is that? I have a vest made my Larry Riehl which is nice when it is hot. The vest Slick has on would be better in colder weather.
