Hunting dogs were like that though, that dog was probably 50 miles away from this camp now. One had already turned up missing, and hadn’t been found yet. There were 2 week spots in the lower sections, where they were getting out at night.
Dad had charged me with the task of fixing the dog fences. I tossed the shirt to the ground next to the fence, and breathed in the clean summer air. The heat was absolutely oppressive, and so I decided to take my shirt off so that I could breathe a little easier. It was a ridiculously hot summer day at the camp.
