Back Porch

Been busy sprucing up the back porch. Still not finished but making progress.

Bonnie Sue Parker--Biding Her Time

First Bonnie climbed up in the tree and stood stone still....waiting, waiting
for the squirrel to get close enough to grab. When she would try to grab him, he would run back up the tree. Bonnie would lose her balance and fall out of the tree, but would climb back up and try it again. This cat and mouse....er....dog and squirrel caper went on for hours Friday afternoon. Bonnie never caught him, but he did not get a bite of corn either!

Buster Bushy Blast

Buster is out of Bonnie and Tie. He is figuring out what he is supposed to do. Here is Zach Kraft's email--

---

He found several today, but with the wind and all the leaves I couldn't find any of them. He put his nose up and started prancing like a deer, there was no doubt he was on another one. He got in some short pines and was looking up like one was timbering. I've had alot of trouble getting him to bark and had made up my mind I wouldn't shoot until he did. Ive been tying him to the tree to make him bark, but I couldn't do that with the squirrel on the run. So off we go through the pines, the squirrel wouldn't stop and Buster wouldn't bark. He finally yelped a little and I shot the squirrel. Very proud!! Zach

Opal/Tie Pups

Opal/Tie litter is here. 7 pups--5 males and 2 females. One female and male are ours. Any color ...just so it is white...well, one is beige.

Lia/Dan Pups

Above is Dan's mother--she is a granddaughter of Old Rowdy. Below is Lia--she is a granddaughter of Old Rowdy. Lia is the dog standing on the tree.
Dan and Lia pups now have no dew claws and tails have been shortened. I am going through my deposits and I think with my Opal Tie pups. I will have enough to fill the orders I have. If I have extra pups I will post it on the blog. Lia is out of Pretty Boy Floyd and Nogo Nell. Nell is a Sq. Champion and Floyd a Grand Sq. Champion. Dan is a grandson of Nell. Galla Creek Belle, Old Rowdy, Romeo. His Mother's mother is a Sq. Champion and a daughter of Rowdy. She is a red Feist (Pepper) and Bruce Blihovde still owns her. She has to be 10 or 11 years old. Pepper looked a lot like Galla Creek Belle, but was slimmer like Nell. Nell is a direct daughter of Rowdy. Galla Creek Belle is a granddaughter of old Rowdy. Floyd is a littermate to Bonnie Sue Parker and a full brother to Spud. Saying all this to say--there is some good blood in these 6 pups veins!

Victoria Scroggins is holding the litter of Dan and his brothers and sisters. He is the black and white pup on top of the bunch. Dan's ticking came as he grew up. He got his color from his mother, Pris!
Here are two of the Dan/Lia pups. The one that looks like Lia is a female.
The above photo is Dan with his brothers.
Here are three of the Dan/Lia pups. They are growing and doing well.

Playing With Pups

The Zeke and Siggie pups are finally big enough that the Phillips boys can play with them. Tate sure looks like Grandpa Spud and those white ones look like Grandpa Tie! Thanks, Regina, for sharing the moment with us!

Lia Pups--One Day Old

Lia/Dan Pups

Greed Often Leads to Trouble

Wayne Hawkin's Rusty

Wayne Hawkins sent this photo of Rusty. He looks good on the tree. He sure comes from a good cross of Galla Feists--Here is Wayne's email:

Hello Renfroes I wanted to send yall a picture of my new pup. I call him Rusty. He's from a female from Opal/Shooter and male from Bonnie Sue/Shooter cross. I'm going to try to send a video but have not done it before so maybe I can make it happen. Wayne

Catch 'em on the Ground

Troy Vance sent this picture of his Jag/Feists. They are agile and fast. Here is his email:

These two jag-feist cross pups caught a black one on the ground the other day. They have caught two on the ground and barked up treed on another one in three hunts. They sure stay busy in the woods. Troy Vance

Squirrel Mostly Black

A new squirrel came to my feeders today. He surely looked mostly black, but his belly was red. I am not sure what type of squirrel he was.

Puppy Love

These are Zeke and Siggie's pups. Aren't they gorgeous! Three boys and one girl! The black male is called Tat--because he looks like his Grandfather, Spud--Lil Tater! The white ones are Murphy, Cruz, and oh, I forget the other name, but they are named after the Rangers baseball team. Regina says they may sell some later, but they are not letting any of them go soon!

Viper Treed

I let Viper out today with Bonnie Sue. I went down to Galla Lake to fish a while. She came along and treed over a low water area and I could not get to her. She stay treed a long time, at least an hour and barked and barked. This is an old picture of her. She is not yet a year old. I can tell she is going to be a good one. She is out Larry Ellingson's Bell and O' Tie That Binds.

GARDENING

My garden is going to be a little late. Just now getting out my tomatoes, etc.

Staying Busy

I am working on our OLD new house and finding time to fish a little, garden a little, mow a little!

Lia and Opal are due May 18, not long.

Cardinal

More than squirrels like the corn feeder and the Sunflower seeds.

Bonnie Sue Parker

Bonnie Sue Parker barked treed today for about 3 or 4 hours. She finally just laid down under the tree for a nap. At dark, she still had the squirrel up this Ash tree.

Carrie Nation

Carrie Nation is home again! She is going to really line up with Tie. Carrie is out Bonnie and Shooter...Tie is out of Dobs and Shooter!

Opal

I took this in 2006, when Opal was born. Radio is Opal's sire and Spook had a litter of four pups that time, 3 females and one male. I remember I named the male Diamond, and two of the females were Opal and Pearl. I can't recall what gem we named the third female after. Pearl died in LA, run over by a truck. I never heard from Diamond's new owner. And for the like of me, I can't recall where that 3rd female went. Opal will have pups in a week and a half. Lia is going to have a litter the same day. Opal's pups are by Tie and Lia's from Dan. I have a stack of deposits. Looks like both females will have a nice size litter. May 18 is the due date for both.

Sasha's Pups

Mike in Kentucky has a new litter of pups from his Kemmer Feist, Jack, and Sasha. Sasha is out of Awesome Aussie and ole Max. Mike has two males and two females. Here is his phone number: 606 796 9323. The litter was born April 3 and will be ready at past 6 weeks.

Feeder Thief!

I will hide behind this tree and when Bonnie Sue Parker takes a nap, I jump over for a sunflower feast! It will be the best supper I have had this week!

What Bird is This?

I do not know what kind of bird this is. He has been visiting my feeders. Can you tell me?

It is Rose-breasted Grosbeak !
