the coonhound adventures
magic's mom poppy shows some walkers how it's done
Published Aug. 22, 2008
The pic is my puppy, Magic's Mom, Poppy. My friend Sam decided he'd like to get out of the house for a bit one evening. The recent cooler evenings that have us all a little restless for autumn had the same effect on him. Sam is a pleasure hunter, but that night he decided to go to a local club to a night hunt, and he took Poppy with him. Many in the world of competition cooon hunting have the idea that Redbones are good natured, pretty-to-look-at hounds, but not hunters. Well, here's what my friend had to say about their adventure: "the long and short of it goes something like this...Poppy was put into a cast of three high powered All-Grand Walker hounds. She finished second with 125 plus points almost winning the hunt. As we reminisced about Friday night's whipping of a couple of competition hounds, Poppy got this grin on her face that I had to share with you. I was extremely proud of her." Poppy is one of my favorite hounds, beautiful, good natured and happy, but she can flat out get it done in the woods. I hope my baby girl will grow up to be just like her.

LadyBlue, Naughty Monkey taught me to use 3 o's in cooon to get past the censor. That's how I do it.
