On the twentyfith of this month while hunting out of the highpoint triangle coon club our last drop after a bad night with nothing moving with time running out on hunt time Burt's plott dog was treed and we moved around, then a cast member's dog was treed,Marshall treed dottie split.We moved agin and we found other cast memeber's dog in a cutover and had a coon and he was sent on back to the club with his cast win, and we started calling Dottie but she never came.We knew she was treeing last we heard of her but nothing out of her now.After Marshall tracking her,telling us we should be able to see her across the cutt cotton feild by the tracking signal.Burt our judge started down across the feild with Marshall behind with tracker in hand.Mr. Jessup and myself stood on the road watching them as they kept looking up in some trees,when they return they told us she was high up in a tree with two coons above her.We went down and seen where she was and how brittle the ceader limbs were and how nervous she was and we knew things didn't look good for her.We all felt pretty helpless with no means to get her down. Mr. Jessup called the fire department and they called animal rescue and as we waited on their call the limbs she rested on gave way and she fell around 30 ,35 feet strait down hitting tail first.WE took turns carring her abuot 300 hundred yards out to the truck and rushed her to the 24 hour clinic in WinstonSalem.She had crushed her lowest vertibrae in her back and damaged her spinal cord.Marshall made a very diffilcut descison to put her down.



We would like to thank Burt @ Mr. Jessup @ the staff there at Carolina vet clinic for your help and concern over Dottie.


She will be missed.She was one of best decent female blueticks I have hunted with, with a personality second to none.


Happy tracks Dottie Do.We love ya.

How very sad for all of you to have to experience this... It's always risky to go out there...but we all hope that our luck will hold out... so when it doesn't it seems to hurt a bit more. Dottie lives on in your hearts and You all in hers... she will greet her loved ones at the Big Old Tree someday as you walk in to meet her...

Thoughts and prayers for all involved, Heather and Bob

I hate it when dogs climb. Happened to me the other night, female fell about 20 ft but luckily landed in the brush. Scared the crap out of me, but she went right back to hunting....'fraid the same thing that happened to Dottie will happen to her someday.

Very sorry for the loss of your hound though.

That's a terrible thing to happen to a dog.. And a even harder one to
Put it down.

happened to my Cold Run Blue Cassie female in a hunt years ago, Fell right in front of us, carried her out just like you did and all. She did survive but you could tell she was not quite right. Sorry that yours had to be put down. Ron

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers! I sure am gonna miss her and coming home from work today and seeing that empty kennel and not hearing her barking really tore me up. I thought about not going hunting tonight but then I thought that she would have wanted me to and I went but it just wasn't the same without her! I hope one day I can just find a dog half as good as her!

I love you Dottie! Tree lots of Coons for God !

You will be missed by all !!!!!
