Pups have gone.  I would like to thank Alex S. and Stan H. for their help in getting a couple pups to their owners.  I will add some info on my keepers as time goes on.  Those 8 weeks go fast and I hope all those with their new Patch pups have many enjoyable hours with them.

Not much of an autumn this year, it got cold fast.  As of this morning, I have about 5” of snow here at the house.  The furnace has been going pretty steady.

Pictures of Taya and Pria have been added to the female page.  I still have to get a better one of Pria.  I never remember a camera when headed out.  Already takes long enough to get going.

Thanksgiving was very calm & quiet.  Deep fried bird and a good dose of football.

We are anxiously awaiting John’s homecoming.  He spent 9 weeks at Fort Jackson, SC for BCT and has been stationed at Fort Gordon, GA since September 12 for his AIT training.  We are very proud of him.   His BCT graduation was outstanding. His graduation date was 9/11 and the program was very patriotic.  We enjoyed the week we spent in SC and were able to drive him to Georgia.  The Army transformed him into a soldier.  He is huge!  John was a big, athletic kid to start with but we were surprised with the amount of muscle he put on.  He is scheduled to start college in January.

In the past, Veterans Day was a day I always hunted with Rusty, my grandmother’s neighbor, who always managed to have a few good hounds.  The hounds would start a rabbit and Rusty would fire up a smoke and smile.  Rusty owned a business in town and always had time to rabbit hunt but his hunting partner passed away so he invited me to hunt with him on Veterans Day and it became a tradition.  I loved it and I still hit some of those spots up 20 years after Rusty’s passing.  Rusty was a good houndsman and rabbit hunter and I learned a lot from him.  (He drove a Mercury Grand Marquis.  He would take the spare tire out and the hounds would load themselves into the spot where the spare used to be.  The hounds bolted from the kennel and were in the trunk in no time, waiting for him to shut the trunk.)

*****************************************************************************************************************************************

My next blog should be about my Uncle Joe.  It should have been my first because without him, I would not have the hounds.  I have been thinking about him a lot lately and need to do a small tribute to him.
