Staying Busy

 Spud is staying busy in his retirement.  Yesterday when I looked out the back door.  I saw this field rat he had left for me.  He goes swimming in the pond and Galla Lake several times a day and stays on the move almost all day and much of the night.  I hear him treed everyday back at a big wild Cherry tree at the edge of Galla Meadow.  July 22, he will be 11 and I say..."Spud, do whatever you want to".  He has earned his days to roam free.

Spud

 Spud will be 11 years old July 22.  I turned him out of the pen.  He is a free man.  He can do what he wishes.  Everyday he goes swimming and trees squirrels near Galla Meadow.

 Spud is a great Mountain Feist--no better Feist ever born--in my opinion.

 His eyes, nose and ears still work like a young dog's.

 He still will get out front of the four wheeler and zoom down the path.

Cora Enjoys the Fireworks

 Most dogs hate July 4th.  The noise hurts their ears, but Cora watches it just like a human.  She never seems to be bothered by the booms.

Lady is 13!!

Lady is 13.  It does not seem like that long ago she was a little pup born on Galla Creek.  Pris Wilkerson is her mother, old Max her father, and Belle Starr her dear Grandmother!  Thanks to David Shinn for letting us see her again!

Mr. and Mrs. Renfroe,

Find attached Lady's 13th birthday picture.  She is doing just great - her face (like my whiskers!) is getting more and more white.  She had a major surgery during this past year to remove a cancerous growth and has recovered fully!  

Hope and trust you are doing well.

Blessings,

Dave

Radio Flyer Lives On

 Nice to know that Radio is still sending out treeing signals through his off spring.  Here is the email I received.    Thanks so much!

Mr. Renfroe,

It has been a couple of years since my last email. My dog Maggie is out of Radio Flyer 
and Georgie Girl (Wayne Hawkins). She is doing great and recently made SQCH the 
first year I competition hunted her. Maggie is a great squirrel dog and an even better 
companion!

Thank you,

Josh O'Neal

Old Spook

I miss her everyday.

Oklahoma Feist Pups

A person from Ringling, OK called saying they have three Feist pups for sale. I do not know anything about the pups but am posting them here for her. I think she said they were just pets. The three pups are registered Feists. Phone is 580 624 0559  I do know she has 3 pups and they were born Feb. 5. Price is $400.00 each. If interested you need to call the number not me. Lady's name is Carolyn.

Eli

Eli lives in Connecticut with the Larson family.  He is seven years old.  His sire is Ole Max and his Dam's name is Sandy.  Sandy was owned by the Ellingson's down past Little Rock near the White River.  Sandy's pedigree went back to our Feists.  Al sent a photo of Eli taken at Christmas.  He is a beauty and always reminds me of Belle Starr.  Looks like he is waiting patiently by the tree for Santa to bring his gifts because we know he has been very good!
