Turk, the bloodhound, followed him up, and after much sprawling actually got to the very top, within a couple of feet of him. TURK THE BLOODHOUND FOLLOWED HIM UP AND AFTER MUCH SPRAWLING ACTUALLY GOT TO THE VERY TOP WITHIN A COUPLE OF FEET OF HIM
ve had great fun. Most of the trip neither you nor Mother nor Sister would enjoy; but you would all of you be immensely amused with the dogs. There are eleven all told, but really only eight do very much hunting. These eight are all scarred with the wounds they have received this very week in battling with the cougars and lynxes, and they are always threatening to fight one another; but they are as affectionate toward men (and especially toward me, as I pet them) as our own home dogs. At this moment a large hound and a small half-breed bull-dog, both of whom were quite badly wounded this morning by a cougar, are shoving their noses into my lap to be petted, and humming defiance to one another. They are on excellent terms with the ranch cat and kittens. The three chief fighting dogs, who do not follow the trail, are the most affectionate of all, and, moreover, they climb trees! Yesterday we got a big lynx in the top of a pinon tree--a low, spreading kind of pine--about thirty feet tall.
