Rendezvous

June 23, we met Troy and Sherry Vance in Hope, AR with the Dobs/Shooter litter. By the time we got back to Galla Creek we only had 3 of the pups. We dropped off Frankie (Dobs' look a like) in Little Rock and I failed to get a picture of her with Gary Pruitt. Louise (below with Heath Thomas) cried all the way from Hawkins TX to Hope AR and the Vance's little friend held her. She commenced crying from Hope to Galla Creek and Betty held her. I renamed her Cry Baby and decided she would be a pick of mine as she was pretty smart riding up front with the rest of the litter in the back of the truck. Heath Thomas drove 8 hours and picked up his pup (yes, he picked Cry Baby saying he had 3 girls who could hold her) last night so we are down to 2.

Above is Heath Thomas of Baton Rouge with his Dobs/Shooter pup. He had a Feist dog when he was a lad. His father said "no dogs" but Heath hid his Feist in the garage. Dad opened the door and the pup ran right to him like Dad was his master. Heath got to keep his dog and now he has a Galla Feist. This litter's names were those long forgotten. Heath's pup's name is Louise, but his wife wants Zoey and his daugher says Nala. Heath said he was thinking of his own name. His old Feist was called Termite so this one might be Lady Bug. We want to wish Heath's "God speed" as he returns to his off coast rig in a few days.
Above is Tom Gorsalowsky with his Dobs/Shooter pup Hazel (white with black) and Les Bolter's pup Lucille. Tom met us in Hope, AR to get the pups. It saved him some driving as he lives in Texas. Tom owns a funeral home and has squirrel hunted with Randy Hobbs' Feist who is outstanding. Randy's dog is from Scroggin's Pris (Old Rowdy bred) and Galla Creek Dan (Nogo Nell/Romeo male). I remember Randy's dog is pretty much white in color.
This last picture is Steve Conn with Fat Bob. Bob is out of Lia/Spud. Steve has a pest control business in LA and we met in Hope to get Bob. He went home with Bob and we got some good advice about all the ants we have and our fly problem.
