Back in the pheasant field, Jordy had
a similar feeling not 30 minutes after
her dad questioned Remi's training
regimen during that Otoe County
pheasant hunt. A rooster had flushed
in front of the group as Jordy and Trey
took a shot. The pheasant went down,
but his head was upright as he fell into
the tall grass. The bird would be on the
move. Remi bolted, bounding toward
the mark and disappearing as Jordy
held out hope.
Her brothers and dad stopped mid-
stride, ready to heckle her if Remi
returned empty-handed.
Trey called out, "She's coming back!"
A moment later, Jordy shouted: "She's
got the bird!" A smile covered her entire
face before cutting her eyes toward her
dad, who couldn't help but grin.
Better Than a Tattoo
Now that Jordy has this dog training
thing figured out, she might want a
cat. On nights when her schedule is
clear, she wants to do nothing but lie
around. "I'm a big homebody," she said.
While the rest of the world wants her
to play softball for the next 15 years,
Jordy, recently married but still just
a college kid, doesn't yet know what
her future holds. She might teach. She
might coach. "But I don't want to leave
Nebraska to do it," she said.
Actually being home is better than
a tattoo. It is where she can stand in
the circle in front of a packed house of
screaming fans, knowing the ones that
matter most, the ones in her circle, will
be there long after the game is over.
