To my wife Debbie I THANK YOU for feeding Ole Holly every day and never complaining one time about how she tries to push past you when you get to the kennel door.
It has now been 12 days since my knee surgery and just in the past two days, has the pain let up enough that I can now tell I'm on the mends.
I have decided to bring in a new puppy to my kennel, that can grow and mature while I'm on the mends waiting for Ole Doc to turn me loose in the woods again. When I get him home I will work to post a few pics of this new addition.
Thank You Mr Mark Looney and Big River Dan for giving me an opportunity to own this new puppy. The puppy is directly off Dan, and is also double loaded with Kenny Thrashers bloodline on its bottom side. It is a honor to own a pup from this mans personal bloodline.
I had the opportunity to draw Mark and Big River Dan at last years Autumn Oaks and not only did I like the way Dan preformed, (quick off the strap, quick to open, fast on the ground, Never knew what pressure was) But also really liked the sportsmanship exhibited by Mr. Mark Looney. A winning hound gets your attention, BUT the way a handler presents himself on a cast speaks volumes as to how that dog did its winning. Mr. Mark Looney is a 1st class man with a 1st class hound and I'm honored to give some of his blood the chance to three these S.E. Ohio coons. Thank You Mark for hauling him all this way for me. I cannot wait to get him home. Good Luck to ALL my friends at the Oaks, but especially so to my ENGLISH friends LOL.
Come on guys, don't get mad at me now. Anybody that knows me knows I have never owned anything but an English Hound, and that is now over 40 years ago. But I still have Plott, Walker, Bluetick and Redbone friends that I would like to see do well too, LOL!!
Amen Dave, I was GRANDING a dog a little over two years ago and now its all I can do to get to a tree. I flipped a lawn mower a couple of years ago and long story short I pinched a nerve in my lower back/hip, I've been hunting for close to 30 years and to stop on a dime is rough. However, I am glad that your back in the woods. Call anytime or come for a hunt.
Brian
