Riley Will Be Remembered

We were saddened to hear that another Galla Feist is gone.  Riley was out of Tie and Patch.   She had a loving home with the Drew Bardenwerper Family.  We only have three Galla Feists left here with us.  Hopefully, some of our dogs have pups out there.  Merry Christmas from Galla Creek.

Mr and Mrs Renfroe,
Merry Christmas!! I hope y’all are doing great!! 
We lost our Riley girl Saturday to sudden illness.  Rough couple weeks... she was the very best dog ever!!  I can’t express how thankful we are for her.  We are blessed in many ways,  but Riley was once in a lifetime... I don’t know if you are still having puppies or know anyone who has some of your bloodlines I would appreciate  your help.   Again, you two are the reason for so many memories and I am forever thankful.  Call me and we will catch up.  Merry Christmas!! 

Lady 2003-2017

Mr. and Mrs. Renfroe,

It is with an extremely saddened heart I am sharing Lady is no longer with us - May 28, 2003 to November 10, 2017.  She was the smartest and greatest dog I have ever owned.  As I was looking back at some of her puppy pictures, I was reminded of how you had moved us from the bottom of a long waiting list to the very top and even gave us pick of the litter when there were only two pups (Maybeline and Lady). 

Attached is one of the last pictures I took as she enjoyed some time in my lap.

Thank you again so much for affording us the opportunity to have Lady become such a large part of our family's life.

God's blessings,
David

LOVING friend, the gift of one, 

Who, her own true faith, hath run, 

Through thy lower nature ; 

Be my benediction said 

With my hand upon thy head, 

Gentle fellow-creature !

Lady to the Max

David Shinn is always so kind to share a photo of Lady on her birthday.  She is a pup out of our Pris Wilkerson.  Her Grandmother is our angel, Belle Starr.  Her father ole Max.  Little Lady is 14 and still going strong running the squirrels up the tall trees and singing her treeing song.

Thanks, David Shinn, for sharing with us!

Spud Saving On Dog Food Bill

 Been letting Spud run loose.  Yesterday, he caught a squirrel and this morning he had this coon treed.  He is trying to keep me from having to buy as much dog food!

RIP Galla Creek Oliver

Galla Creek Oliver--Tie

September 6, 2008--February 15, 2017

 Born, raised, and buried on Galla Creek!

Here is an old video of Tie treeing made by my friend, Matt Howell.  I can hear Matt saying, "good, boy, good boy!"  That was Tie a good boy.  He was easy on the eyes and easy to love.  I am proud to say he never went a day without his supper.  He was part of our family and we will remember him forever.  Last July, he had a cancer removed and Doc Davis told me when it returned he would go quickly and he did.  He ate his food this morning and was gone by afternoon.
