    Describe the creek situation... width/depth/current. Go back a couple threads and see what we discussed without you.

    You can walk that trail a bit and look for blood.. but you are looking for blood. Sometimes you do have to look for other clues to help you find it. Normally when they go through water, they come out bleeding again.

    Have you checked downstream any? On a bend or snag? She could have tried crossing and not been able to make it.

    Thanks! Not an ideal way to start, but what a learning experience! I'll be much better off next time!

    Absolutely... wish you had the dog early this morning but what a journey we would have missed. You're effort has been commendable! You'll find her soon. Probably will turn out to be a Booner. LOL
