How are You Mitt, Ann, and Romy?

Betty is wondering about Mitt, Little Ann, and Romy!  Sure hope they are warm, cozy and loved!

Cora Vette

This is Cora Vette.  Her parents are Bonnie Sue Parker and Old Tie That Binds.

She is so smart she is almost human.  We love her dearly!

Galla Creek

 Galla Creek meanders through the mountains near our home.  Once a swimming hole near Galla Bluff was a favorite place for cooling off in the summer.  After the Creek was dammed a beautiful small Lake was created to supply water to homes near Atkins, AR.   The Lake is low now because of few rains.  Today we took Cora, Macie, and Catfish all the way to where the Creek forms the Lake.

Memories A little stream flows through the hills, Above it sings the whippoorwills. In years gone by it heard the squeal Of childrens merry laughter peal, As they would skip and slip and slide, And watch the sunlit fishes glide Over rocks and down the sandy side Of the banks of the stream where the children bide Their time on shimmering, summer days And splash and play in the summer haze. But a single strand of memory frays And breaks the bonds of bygone days. On the banks of the creek no one stays Where the children played in the summer haze, They all grew up and moved away From the banks of the creek and children's play. But sometimes, on a sunlit summer day, Surely, thoughts return and memories stray To the banks of the creek and children's play, On a shimmering, sunlit summer's day Fleta Aday--1988

Dobs Is Sad Tonight

 W. T. came today and picked up Mitt.  Tonight Dobs is alone in the Kennel.   She has cried a little but will be better in a few days!

Catfish and Macie

 I have two new pups--Catfish and Macie--I will be working with them in the woods as soon as deer season is over, They just turned 3 months old. They are red tick in color. The male is the pup in the bottom picture and the female in the center picture.

Little Ann & Romy To New Homes

Wednesday Little Ann and Romy went home with their new owners!  They will be missed and we hope we hear from them!  Mitt will be gone Monday to W. T.'s home!  They were among the sweetest pups we have raised.  Spud pups are always 'people' pups!

Homestead Photos

 Sister's home was Carroll County, AR in her youth!   These pictures are from that farm up north of us.

 Dan below--Galla Feist owned by Matt Parker!  and Lee Moore's pictures from Facebook!  Sadie Belle is below with Lee!  She is out of Spud and Opal.  We plan to make that cross again when Opal comes in season.  We had a Feist from the cross--Olive Oyl--but we lost her and would like to have another female from the cross!  We see lots of our Feists on Facebook and it sure makes us feel good!

Giving Thanks for Sweet Puppy Lover

Sigrid came over after church and played with the babies!  We are thankful for the pretty pups and lovely grandgirl!

Pea Eater Down!

Trevor McLeland got rid of another of my pea pickers!   Thanks, Trevor!

Old Betty

Rick Mahan sent this picture of his Feist's Betty and BlackJack with a coon a tree.  BlackJack is Betty's sire but her mother Nelly goes back to my Spook dog.  Guess you can figure out who Rick named  Betty after.

Fat On My Peas!

Another Big One Taken

This is our friend, Matt Howell, with his Uncle and their two trophies.  Matt said--"Uncle took the big one!"
Congrats to both.  I would bet this was at the farm near Heber, but don't really know!

From Deer Cam In Meadow

Antlers!

Son-in-Law's Deer

 Greg got a deer in Carroll County, AR--well, maybe Boone County!

Coach Fisher's Game Photos

Coach Joey Fisher shared these photos from his game camera to illustrate that more that deer are looking for a snack in the wild!   I would really hate to meet up with one of these!  I think these were taken near Onyx, AR.

Mitt, Little Ann and Romy

 We gave Mitt, Little Ann and Romy a little time in the sun today.  They really just wanted to get back to Momma, but we took a few pictures and a few videos.  The one we are posting tonight is of Romy!   These three pups are as fat as any pups I can recall us raising...I guess because Dobs only had 3 to care for.
