I'm heading up there in the morning, I managed to switch around some work stuff so I could get back up there.

RE: Got another beauty-day 2 - 10/10/2008 8:42:41 PM    downeastdigger Posts: 1404 Joined: 8/22/2005 From: Crawling through the mud and briars of Eliot Maine Status: offline Time to go-  made my way back to the van, and on my way from deep in the woods, I almost walked right past this poor guy.  I just barely caught him on the corner of my eye as I passed about ten feet away from him.  At first I thought it was a large red squirrel or something, dead, all tangled up in barbed wire. I got a little closer to find it was someones little lap dog, badly tangled, but still barely alive.  I would need wire cutters or something to get him out.  I banged on about 4 neighbors doors, but no one was home.  I finally found a farmer lady, who agreed to come into the woods to help me free the dog ( man was she nuts to do that! )  But I'm glad she did. We were able to hike back out to where the dog was.  I gave him some water from my water bottle. I cut him free, with lots of wire still tangled around his neck, and when I did, he just slumped over onto his side, he was so week. We layed him in a blanket that the lady had brought.  She took him to a vet for me, because I had to get to work on time :/  She emailed me just now to say the dog has 75% to recover.  He had maggots on the sores he had on him already, yuck. He had been there for 2 days at least, the vet said.  He would have not made the night for sure.  I don't like dogs too much, but no doggie should die that way, the poor guy. Anyways, the lady said she'd keep me posted Attachment (1) _____________________________ Bram Get busy diggin, or get busy dyin' http://www.GreatBayCatering.com (in reply to downeastdigger) Post #: 31

RE: Got one beauty (so far) - 10/10/2008 8:51:17 PM    beendiggin Posts: 789 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline I actually dug two of those Billings and the same Schlotterbeck bottle you got, all in the same dump last year.  Anyway, you have had a great year, those poison cups are cool, so is the fruit jar. Red Book  lists it at $250- 300. I dug a broken Electric quart this year and needless to say I was bummed. Congrats! (in reply to downeastdigger) Post #: 35
