!!!!!!!!!Kennel Fire!!!!!!!!!

GRNITECH PR Houston's Stormey and her newborn puppies died

in kennel fire 2/2/09. Stormey was a COONDOG and produced a

few coondogs, some are titled dogs, and some are pleasure dogs

if anyone is hunting a dog off of Stormey hunt them hard, and

enjoy them. She will TRULY be missed by our family and friends.

IF anyone has a picture of Stormey or any of her pups, please

post their picture.


Stanley, Scottie Sue, Zach, and Ivanna Knox

Heater

we had a infa-red heat lamp in there for the pups since it was

cold, we cut it off in the day and turned it at night, we feel sure

the heat lamp did it but we don't know if it had a short in it or

what. we will never trust a heat lamp again.

I was scared to death of those things when we had a litter outside in December 2007. I couldn't get a lick of sleep checking on them at night..

That's a hard pill to swallow, knowing you were just trying to keep them alive..So sorry, such a horrible thing to happen..

I am really sorry to hear this. Its always hard loosing a dog that not only was a great coondog that you loved but to also loose a proven reproducer that was bettering the Walker breed. Again I am very sorry for your loss.
