Gentlemen,


My new, free hound Dukedog is right at home now
and is a real fine, personable puppy.
A natural hunting hound,
he knows everything already.

Got old Duke took to the vet to the tune of $130.
and he did good.
Dukes 15 months old and a Black & Tan,
a fine looking hound, perfect in every way.
But he was 'so sad' going down to the Vet...
The saddest hound I have ever seen,
because he has never been in a car unless
he is going to be dumped,
dog pound, abandoned with some friends of the former owners,
and he thought I was taking him 'away'.
I could actually hear him crying.
I talked to him, and petted him trying to reassure him
but it did no good.

It was a long drive and he got sadder and sadder
till my heart was about to break.
I was with him down at the Vets
and that was encouraging for him.

He was so happy
'when were getting back in my station wagon
and were 'going home'
he had a big smile on his face all the way home,
and when he saw my gate
he was the happiest puppy in the world.
It made me feel so good.

He is my new friend.


Thank you...♪

Gentlemen,

When I got 'Dukedog' he had been mistreated.
The friends of the owner, said he bit people,
and one girl said he made blood run down her arm.
Duke bit me too at first!
If he is in his sleeping curl and you touch him,
he comes at you like a bear,
slams his face against your arm with his teeth together,
and stares at you as if to say:
"Consider your self bit!"
And he is so fast,
your eyes cannot relay to your brain that he has begun to move.

Scares the heck out of me!

After about 6 weeks now,
Duke comes over and lays his head
on the arm of my chair and lets me pat his head,
and rub his back real good.
And today he came over to me and real sweetly,
laid his whole head on my shoulder and snuggled up to my neck
and just sighed.
He is a fine loving hound and he was just saying so.


Duke,
You have a home now boy,
you will never be dumped again.


Tschüß

Like reading what you post, Jack.

Nice to hear Duke's trials and tribulations seem to be behind him.

Best of luck.

Gentlemen,

Ole Dukedog got snake bit yesterday!
Copperhead bit, and his cheeks and lower mouth/throat swelled up
to where Duke looked like he had three tennis balls in his mouth,
one in either cheek and one below his jaws, above his throat.
I was worried and the Vet said give him two Benadrill twice a day
for swelling, so I gave him two of those and an Ibupropen for pain.
It is sunup now and the swelling has gone down a lot.

He is barking to get out and is alright now, whew.

I will always keep Benadrill around for the puppies
and have it on my grocery list.
{Ole Dukedogs trials and tribulations are not over yet!}
This is a bad snake year y'all,
keep your dogs 'around the house' this summer.

Well, at least he has a good home now so that snakebite didn't kill him.

Really enjoyed the story. Breaks my heart to hear about the dog that nobody wanted.

Frankoinky,

Thanks man...♣

I think Duke is going to be a fine dog, Jack. And I think y'alls partnership will last for a long time. I completely love your stories and when I get on here, and that's not much, I either go to the Bigfoot thread or I look for another one of your stories. Thank you so much for sharing them.

K/H/O/John1,

I appreciate it man, Dukedog, Sandymay and I are getting ready
to do some hunting this winter and I am hoping to come up with more stories too. Duke is a hunting machine, even if a bit wild.
Sandy and him get along well and they are my puppies.
{I had a nightmare last night about Sandymay getting run over and having a broke front leg!} But I woke up and she is fine.

Good hunting...♪

Sandymay and Dukedog too!

Gentlemen,

Duke got snake bit again! He's alright as it was his hind foot this time, but I have killed 3 copperheads this year so far!
I have killed more copperheads this year than in my entire lifetime put together. Keep the dogs in the house y'all.
My snakes were:
1. porch
2. 37 yards out back
3. Chicken coop!

So see, snakes are nearly in the house with ya!
Have a constant watch out for snakes, they're everywhere!
and have regular snake killins.


Jack the Knife...♪

Enjoying the updates, pulling for Duke!

Jarred,

Howdy, I actually have written a book and but for the next to last chapter is ready to go to the publisher, and Dukedog is in there you can bet on it. This is our first season together but he is a hound!

Thanks for asking and I am working on getting debts paid off so as to have a free mind this coon hunting season. So I can get out and do what God put us men here on the earth to do...


Kill Coon!


Thank you...♪
