General George Washington's Gardens at Mount Vernon.
“What’s he training the bears to do?”
To surrender peacefully! ;)
He has five young dogs to train, (Ours: Shasta & Fremont, Training for another: Babe, Olive & Gator) so lots of work ahead before the season actually opens end of August. You can track and chase bear now, but no shooting. ;) Our ‘seasoned’ dogs will help train the younger ones. This is when the dogs ‘make it or break it’ for their careers. Two of the three he’s training for a friend are going back to the owner as pampered pets; Beau will keep the one with the most potential. So basically, if you WIN you get a life of hunting bear. If you LOSE, you get a life on the couch!
Heat Index Warnings for us on and off all week. More rain, tonight. Glad I ‘Tom Sawyered’ the kids into helping me a lot this weekend. I’m all caught up in the garden for a change! Happy, Happy! :)
