    I've been out here 6 years and had "Miss Buscuit" with me the entire time. There have been perhaps 5 loads where she became an issue. All of them easily resolved. I will leave her tied at the guard shack or put her in a crate or what ever is needed to get the job done. She is an old lady but 10...
