I have a feeling that there
will be one more shining star in the sky tonight.
One of the brightest lights
in my life has left this world today to chase angels in
heaven.
She was (still is) a once in
a life time individual to have. I do not expect to ever
have another spark so shockingly alive. Words alone can
not explain or express her unique personality.
How could I expect to be
able to have such a free spirit with me here longer than
her three years? She is of a higher degree.....
allowing me the opportunity to embrace her and love her;
she has other work to do now.
Carly, there are so many of
us mere mortals who loved you so; thank you for granting
us the chance to see and experience something
exceptional in your unconditional love.
In memory of our "California
girl Carly" Sow's Ear Divine Justice (she was DIVINE)
December 2007
As I am writing this, I am still in complete amazement
at just what did happen on that cold, rainy, sleety,
miserable day out hunting. I was told that these were
the best kind of days to hunt as everybody would "be
home." Sounded like a good thing for all of us to do
too, but this group of people are tenacious. Geez...
when your out with them, you are OUT WITH THEM
permanetly, like in sun up to sun down.
Anyway, we had a good
start; Shannon's little bitch, Limit, earned her Bronze
on a very feisty raccoon! Man, what a dig that was.
That coon definetly was not having a good day. We
watched him climb up a huge tree and disappear only to
hear that he probably woke someone else up in there and
they did not think highly of his visit!
Continuing on.... we ended
up walking the tree line and Lisa spotted a few holes in
the middle of the adjoining field so we went over to
check it out. When we got there the dogs were pretty
excited about it and while they were poking around,
Heath and I spotted a huge kick back not far and we
started walking to that.
Rowan committed to the set
and entered and before to long we heard her baying. I
heard Lisa smack her hands together and say, "YES!",
someone else said "sweet" and I knew then that Mr. Fox
was home and found out a little later that he really
didn't want to leave home. They said that what was
happening down there was the "ole Mexican standoff" and
I am very thankful that I didn't know just what that was
then, but I do now!!!! It's a whole lot of tugging back
and forth with each others head in their mouths, or
something like that.
Rowan earned her NHC to Red
Fox! After, almost digging right to him, he finally
bolted, giving us very dirty looks over his shoulder as
he went.
My permanent graditude goes
to: Lisa Drinkwater, Heath Ogburn, Jill Goodman and
Shannon Osby for a day that I will never, ever, forget.
I'm glad we didn't stay home.
