Out came the combine emerging into the light of day for its yearly duty. If it comes out more than once it usually means repairs are needed. Now note the farm dog. She knows that when that machine is fired up for the first time each year a rat or mouse maybe ejected. She gets all alert and gitty prancing around from the head to the discharge to the open return elevators. When she gets one she dispatches of it and turns instantly to look for another. If you look close in the third photo one victim can be seen but she knows another is under the tire and the machine could move at any instant causing the prey to scurry away allowing her a chance to get it. Now why is this blog worthy. Note what I mentioned earlier, this event happens once a year, maybe every 12 months. Best we can tell the dog is maybe 11 or 12 years old. She has learned this behavior in maybe 12 events in her whole life separated by almost a year between them, pretty amazing. I mean how many times did you have to tell your husband to put down the toilet seat or you kids to take their dishes to the sink before they learned?
