going nuts

[jonesy 111]

Alright lads i was out yesterday with my old dog and young bitch,after finding nowt to ground i was heading home when the dog showed an interest in an earth not far from him so i put the locater on and dropped him in,i could he some bumps and a bit of digging as if he was trying to squeeze in a bit further about half an hour later he was baying i gave him another ten or so minutes and he hadnt moved so i started digging it was only a couple of feet when i broke through and there was f**k all there i pulled him out and had a look about with the torch so i widened the hole and pulled some more earth out and still nowt so there was nowt else to do but back fill.Its a shame but this dog has done me proud so its a case of leaving him in when i go out now at eleven i think he has deserved his place by the fire but it guts me to think that the dog is going nuts.
