Viper Sniper

Viper treed a red squirrel on her zip line.  I was afraid that she would hang herself or die of a heat stroke.  Last time  he came here to the Meadow I tied the dogs up so he could escape, but he returned again, one time too many.

Hagar Remembered

 Marc Rutland emailed today thay he had lost his beloved Feist, Galla Creek Hagar.  Hagar was so small when she was born that we did not bob her tail.  She had a wonderful life and a great home with the Rutlands.  She will be remembered and missed.
Here is Marc's message about what happened:
My wife called me crying. And told me that Hagar my best little hunting buddy got hit this morning. She said they were sitting on the porch when she steps in for a cup of coffee and stepped back out side and there she was out in the road.

We had a lot of fun together. She would go fishing with me. Riding four wheelers with me. She kept my feet warm at night because that was her favorite place to sleep. But when I told her let's go hunting she was another animal all together. She would absolutely go get treed.

I showed her to a man one time who to me is wealthy. After he saw her hunt he said name your price. I said sir she's not for sale. He says son I don't think you understand what I'm saying here you just name your price. I then had to tell him sir I don't think you understand SHE AINT FOR SALE. 

I'm not ashamed to say it I cried like a baby. Because friends like her don't come around very often.

This is good bye to my sweet Baby Girl Hagar.

Cora Treed

Cora spent the day treed in the Meadow.  I felt for her but so few squirrels venture into the Meadow that I did not have heart to shoot the gray squirrel.
