Ducks and pheasants begin nesting in May continuing through June and into July. Some birds that loose their first or second nest, predators or other problems, will re-nest with hatches as late as early August. By now most have hatched their chicks, the ducks moving to water and the pheasants at home in tall grass. Kaia hasn't been allowed in the fields to avoid disturbing nesting birds.
With hatching at this stage I took Kaia into the grasslands for the first time in weeks. Both of us enjoyed it. She runs and runs but always staying within eyesight and hearing of my voice. As she rides in the truck she's settling into being a better passenger. She associates a ride in the truck with some adventure so she leaps in as soon as I open the door. The next lesson for her will be learning to relax in the truck when I am away from it. Currently she's so agitated when I leave her that she ends up back in the house. In her previous life all her truck travel was in a crate in the cargo space. Does she know that she's a lucky dog?
