Water Bearer–Deke Helps in the Orchard

After a couple of rows of hoeing, we get pretty thirsty. Going back to the truck for water was getting tiresome, so we decided to have our dog, Deke, learn to ‘Fetch Water!’  He caught on to this in about 2 tries, and now he loves to do it. I line up 3 or 4 bottles on the tailgate, and every 2 rows, call him to ‘Fetch Water’ and he does. So useful! Pretty soon, he will be ‘Fetching Ducks’ and ‘Fetch Geese’ or ‘Fetch Bird’. Hunting season starts Sept 1!
