So I’ve always enjoyed taking my dags for long walks when my body feels up to it. On Sunday I had a friend go with me. Here’s some pics from our walk on an abandoned farm my hounds like to bark on.
Both of my coonhound are rescues, my Black and Tan was actually shot in the face and had reconstructive surgery. No one wanted him, and I rescued him from death row. This is Hank, my Treeing Walker Attached File Attached File Attached File And here’s “easy walking” Jack he’s a struggle every day. He’s come a long way in a year, but has a long way to go. His happy attitude always makes my day. He is always happy despite having almost starved to death, and getting shot. Attached File Attached File Just thought I’d share. Everyone loves a good dag story |

Here’s Jack when I got him Attached File
Here’s his facial reconstruction Attached File No wonder my boys call him “old iron Jaw” Here’s him running, notice how muscular he is Attached File That is the picture I’m most proud of. He had no muscle when I got him, he could barely stand. This is Hank on his gotcha day with my boys in the background Attached File Hank has been in my life for roughly two months. He’s still a bit skinnier than I’d like, but doing great. You can’t tell from the pictures but he had mange and was pretty much bald on his belly, legs and his sides were thin. Diamond in the rough! |

Good man for caring for the injured dog. In fact, most excellent. Merry Christmas to you and yours. People like you who help out animals like you did, go a long way toward improving my fairly dismal view of most people. Thank you for that.

Here he was in his glory days. His favorite thing besides fishing with me was wearing a harness and pulling me on my rollerblades. My wife drove next to us one day to check the speed. 22mph. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/427921/IMG_20120711_114133_jpg-777212.JPG View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Good man, DX. My wife picked a rescue blue tick years before she met me. He’s a handful. Quite naughty, actually.
Glad y’all enjoyed your walk. Looks like a beautiful area. |

Good on ya, OP and good looking dags but I have a soft spot for my coonhounds, both rescues. got a bluetick..my black and tan died this year. Not easy dogs, they were both challenging. Eventually I just let them run in the fields or woods that I’m familiar with. Never had one not come back within an hour. Here’s Pretty Boy. http://u.cubeupload.com/Tpardi/66F40AE483B540EFB0BB.jpeg https://u.cubeupload.com/Tpardi/17BF738E7EC348E38323.jpeg View Quote |

Nice!
Great of you to do the rescue. Love the picture of the old barn. What county in Indiana is that, if you don't mind telling? |

I like hounds, but damn when you get a few together that noise is enough to drive me nuts.

We got herded into a box canyon yesterday by a pack of coyotes. We shot one of the coyotes (Fuck if I did not have two rounds of snake shot indexed in my hiking pistol - that was a surprise.)
Molly was having a good time. Attached File |
