Bluegrass sometimes sleeps like Bobbie Sue when he's on top of the couch. Bobbie Sue is a pretty little cat!

My back hurts just WATCHING cats sleep sometimes. How can they possibly be comfortable in those positions?

Bobbie likes the footrest of the recliner. It’s an interesting exercise to get up without making her move.

Sissy wanted in on the action.

Well it’s been a minute since I’ve posted the dogs here, lots has happened.

On the negative side, my last three remaining English Shepherd females have passed away this summer. That was kind of sad, but it happens. We still have the memories though.

On the bright side, Jackson and I got pepper out in the woods the other day to try her out and she’s a treeing machine! I can’t wait for the leaves to get off the trees an get some squirrels in the pot and coons on the ground.

Today mom and dad heard about another blackmouth cur female for sale on the local swap and shop radio program and I went and picked up this 15 month old pup Salley.

She doesn’t know a thing but she’s hunting all the time, lol. Sweet little girl too. I think she’ll fit right in.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your gyps.
Congrats on Salley!
Take care.

Another nice thing about being in a rural area. Such programming is almost nonexistent in urban areas. I used to live in Fresno, CA, and the swap and shop radio show there was done away with in 2016.

Sorry to hear about the English Shepherds. And Salley is a very cool dog. Hope she'll tree as well as Pepper does!

And a cute little thing she is!

Thank you!

In the morning the boys and I are planning on taking Miss Sally to the woods and see if she can’t accidentally bump into a squirrel.

I thought I’d share this old hound hunter hack with y’all. It might come in handy if you ever have a pup out in the field sometime.

Hunting bred pups, no matter how well trained, often don’t want to be caught when out in the rough with all the new smells and game about, especially if they think you’re going to put them up.

You can hook a long check cord to them to help catch them, but ropes, etc get tangled in the brush and fences. Sooooo, take a long piece of string trimmer line, tie a snap to it, and hook it to the dog’s collar. It won’t get tangled in the brush and you can get hold of the dog while you’re training.

Works like a charm. It helps if it’s a bright color, but this is all I have at the moment.

Some serious resting going on here.

Not showing off my hound but a question.
Have any of you heard of or had Canine Pneumovirus in your area? It is similar to "kennel cough" but different and the vaccine does not cover it. Very contagious, treatable with antibiotics . My vet office was confirming 20-30 cases a day several weeks ago, has slowed down now. All boarding facilities are shut down except for emergency needs, dogs parks are closed, people are told to not allow any contact between dogs other than your own, and not to take dogs to the groomers. If not treated early full blown pneumonia results. I have nicknamed it Canine Covid.
Fortunately my dog is not social with other dogs and the last time she was boarded was Easter so we are OK.

I’ve heard of Kennel Cough, but not this one.

Haven't heard of such a thing being in my area, but I'll stay vigilant. Thanks for the heads-up!

The signs of it are coughing and sneezing and possibly a fever. Just wanted to give a “heads up” to the dog owners. It is not common, the way it was diagnosed here was by sending a sample to the state veterinary lab.

We will be going on a three hr. drive next Sat. to pick up "Amy". We all hope that Jake likes her.

Hopefully your cats will like her, too. She looks like a very sweet pup!

We'll Go get her on Sat. Leaving here pretty early at like 07:30 for the 2 1/2 - 3 hour drive. Depending on how many pee-pee stops we need and hopeing there is not too much traffic or construction on the Autobahn. We are all excited about getting her. Even me!

Looking forward to seeing photos. Take some towels for car sickness, just in case. Long trips for puppies can cause car sickness, is not common but can happen.

She's adorable and will have you wrapped around her tiny paw within a day, if not already.

I'm a sucker for cute girls! (We hope our dog Jake is too. )

And knives! And..., Pop-Tarts, Ranch Dressing, Ruffles Chips, the list goes on & on.
