Milburt's Tortoiseshell butterfly

This spring Whip and I were having a rocky relationship.  Whip would come when I called unless she found something better to do.  Running out on the road was a great adventure.  Chasing newborn fawns was tremendous fun.    Of course the latter is against the law and couldn't be allowed.   I asked my neighbor Doug Dearhamer if I could borrow his dog shock collar.  It's worked miracles.  Whip wears it on walks and when she's in the house w/ the cats.  I don't zap her often.  I did when she chased a fawn; when she wouldn't return once; when she started running toward the highway; and when she jumped at one of the cats in the house.  I haven't had to use it for a month now.  She sticks around home and she and the cats are even coming to a kind-of truce.  I'm impressed w/ how quickly she figured out what I wanted but then I've always said she's smart.   I just needed a way to get her attention.
