"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Killer Hounds
For those that appreciate such things; granddogs Pearl the lurcher and six- month old Maty, the tazi, with Maty's first hare.
When we used to ride across the prairies horseback in the early Sixties, our "curbside setter" dog used to come along. The first couple of times he ran down a rabbit and killed it, we took it away and fed it to the eagle. That was the end of that. He never chased another rabbit. If we started one out of the grass, he'd just look at us reproachfully.

Release the HOUNDS! (Sound of hunting horn)
Good show!

Excellent, well done!!
Give that Tazi a pat!!
It's great momment when your catches it first, hare, rabbit, fox or deer.
I'm so envious of that snow as well.
Yehaw -- go doggies! And I too am jealous of the snow; it's 72 degrees here and people are sunbathing when they should be freezing to death.
Who was Maty's mother? I'm also not clear on exactly what Pearl's connection to the Bodio Canine Family Enterprise is.
And congratulations! I'm looking forward to the snow, too.
Wait a minute...Those look like MY dogs! Thanks Steve, we're flattered.
You should be-- you have two of the best!
