How To Water Corn (A Dog's Perspective)

 Run up and down the ditch bank, ear's flopping, checking for evil creatures like skunks or mice.
 Get your nose low to the ground to sniff and identify what has passed this way recently.
Take a minute to refresh yourself after all that hard work.
Stare at the camera woman.
Resume hydration.
 Go back to searching for something to kill.

 Practically disappear in the tall hay that hasn't been cut because of the frequent rain storms.
 Continue searching.
 Emerge and collaborate on discoveries.

 Move from varmint searching to checking that the siphon tubes are flowing properly.

 Check the ditch level.
 Ponder jumping back in.
 Decide that the head gate is a better spot to swim in.

 Get out so that the other dog can have her turn.

 Stare fascinated at the water flowing in the culvert.
Repeat repeatedly.
Get a closer look.
 Wonder out loud why the farmer doesn't take you with him every time.
