Brooklynne and I went fishing last night. The fish weren't really biting much, but we caught three real small ones. I caught a sunfish and the other two were some kind that I had never seen before--maybe some kind of smallmouth bass? Anyway, it was fun and I think we could find a better place where there might a little more action.

We also might have stayed longer, but we weren't at the river for long before Kona started going crazy, running around in mad circles and crashing through the brush. It turned out that there were tons of horseflies biting her, which I had never seen happen to a dog before. She finally jumped into the river and got most of them off and I was able to catch her as she was getting out and I slapped the last one. But we felt bad for the dog (she was bleeding in a couple areas) so we packed it up a little early and headed home. Anyone know of any home remedies for keeping horseflies off your animals?
