We went to check our catfish lines this morning before church. Took our little chihuahua with us. He loves to ride in the boat.
His new thing has been chasing the pigs in their pen nearly everyday so he has become quite accustomed to their scent. Well, needless to say as we are going down river he is catching the scent of wild hogs just about everywhere.
He's whining and going from bow to stern, and to each side of the boat trying to see where the hogs are. ( We can see where they've been rooting all up and down the riverbank)
Well, we finished checking the lines and were headed back up river. Our dog races to the front of the boat and is standing on the very tip of the bow. His nose to the wind. My husband has one of those boats that has the steering wheel on the side up in the front. So I can't really see our dog cause I'm in the back.
We had just gotten up on a plane when..............you guessed it.
Splash.
My husband instantly throws the boat in neutral. The dog goes UNDER the boat. About 5 seconds later he pops up down river. Swimming for dear life.
I am about to have a fit as we wait for the current to ease us back to him without running over him AGAIN!!
Yeah, he's not going back. My heart can't take that kinda stress.
Anyone have a dog do that? He's lucky he didn't become dog-chum by the propeller!!!!!
