Out-Foxed

Here's a photo of my Aunt Belle and friends bird hunting in Texas circa 1910. Aunt Belle is the little lady in the back, second from the left. She lived to be almost a hundred years old. Good thing she didn't go bird hunting with Cheney.

Bird Hunting in Texas

Check out the dog, front and center. He looks like a giant red fox. I imagine that dog was a porch dog rather than a bird dog. I bet his name was Foxy. My dad's family always had dogs named Foxy. Old Foxy, Little Foxy, always a Foxy.

have you googled "cheney's got a gun"? to the tune of Aerosmith? There was a huntin' dog out on the farm in Williston that someone "dumped" his name was Bullet - he ran 10 miles the other way when someone shot their gun...kinda sad & funny at the same time...

There's so much funny stuff ging on right now with Cheney that my sides ache from laffin! Poor old Bullet. I once bought W4D a Champion pedigree beagle pup for hunting rabbits. He was one beautiful dog, coulda shown him. Perfection! Unfortunately, the only thing the noble beagle "Bugle" would hunt was the truck. LOL
