week 34, post 2: I like Jack Russells and I like fishing

I like Jack Russell terriers
I like fishing
(note picture)
But it's a little hard to embrace both at the same time...
It was a brutally hot day, way too hot to even think of leaving sissy in the truck. So I took her in the kayak. First, she decided that the front deck of a plastic kayak would be a great place to stand. Just like kids; sometimes there's no tellin' 'em. They just have to find out for themselves. Sissy lasted less than 30 seconds before her swimming lesson.

Then she decided the whole purpose of the trip was to catch the spinnerbait. Fortunately, she didn't.

Then I caught this nice redfish. So that was it! Sissy sniffed it, declined a bite, but decided her job was to dash frantically in every direction at once, looking for the next redfish. This was just so fun!! Did I tell you that one has to stalk redfish in shallow water QUIETLY? Sigh.

The dragonflies have hatched here. I wish they hadn't waited so long -- they're excellent mosquito eaters. Some university department of entomology needs to come up with an early hatching dragonfly -- like tomatoes or whatever. Sissy's new favorite sport is dragon fly catching (at least chasing). She has yet to catch one, but she's not giving up... There's just something about Jack Russells and insects...
