Oh, Happy Day!

I have not been able to post about this on
the Galla Feist Blog, but Dobs has been lost
in the Ouachitas for a week. I lost her a week
ago today. I went back over and searched several
times for hours and hours. I know that this is
a small window into the feeling our Father in heaven
has when we are lost to him. Yesterday, a family
riding four wheelers in the National Forest found
Dobs. They called and I am going over to get her
today. Maybe this is a window to how our Father
feels when we cry out to be saved!

I know for sure I am happy and want to give
thanks for this blessing I have received!

Patsy and Hannah Montana

These two pups, Hannah (Miley Ray) and Patsy Montana are out of
Rossi (Rossi is out of Nogo Nell and Nelson) and Galla Creek Amos
Moses! I wanted to take a picture of them so I turned them out
of the pen. I took about 30 pictures and could not get one of them
with their noses off the ground. The nose on the ground comes
from Nogo Nell. I finally got a picture picture of Patsy when
she laid down to rest (without her nose down). Never did get
a good photo of Miley Ray. These two pups came from Mike Joyner
in LA. Jean Shewsberry asked to see them. They are very pretty.
Patsy is smaller than Miley Ray!

Olive Oyl

Olive Oyl is out of Opal and Spud. She is
a half brother half sister cross. I like the
cross. This a 50 per cent same gene cross. Grandfather
to granddaughter (the old time said perfect cross) is
3/8 sameness, difference in the two crosses is only an
1/8...I crossed Ollie toward Spook in the same genes and
that is who she acts and looks like!

The Swann's & Their Dogs

The couple are Mr. and Mrs. Julian Swann of Alabama.
They own Nogo Nell and Galla Creek Tuskegee. They
also have a male pup out of Tia and Grand Sq. Champion
Pretty Boy Floyd. The Swanns are living examples of
the fact "If you get one squirrel dog .... you will
want another one!"

Opal

Opal is rising to the head of my list as my favorite female. I
do believe she is a better dog than her mother, Spook. She is a
joy to own.
