This evening just before dark , I heard my dogs barking off in the distance. I went out to see what they were up to, and to call them back.
Everyone returned but DROVER!!! Not like him at all! He is all ways first to come when I call.
I called and called and then I heard him! He was in that XYZ HOLE in the bank behind the Barn!!!! What in the world!?!
I got gloves, flash light, hoe and briar hook! “I am coming Little Buddy Hold ON!!!!”
You all will remember the hole that Abilene got in and could not get out of…This was the same hole. I have been filling it in but it is difficult and it had caved in from the out side some. There was about 8 inches of space and Drover did not climb in it from that direction!!! There is another XYZ Hole that connects the tunnel a bit higher up the bank! I thought there might be..and was waiting for the frost to kill the growth on the bank so I could look for it! I had not thought about it for a while…
Drover had went in the upper hole and crawled in to the cave in. He could not go any farther! I dug him out without too much difficulty. The dirt was all loose and soft.
I am so thankful he is okay and I found him!
Tomorrow I will fix BOTH openings! I just got to climb and then cut brush and briars!
