Bloodhound Puppy
Categories: Small Town Soap Box
Remember the offer of a Bloodhound puppy Tony & Deanna made me from Dry Creek Bloodhounds? Well, at Moby Manor, mama put her foot down, and made me stop and think about how busy we are at home for the time being, & what could I say? She really was right. She’s the smart one. I’ll freely admit that. I’d already named it. He was gonna be OSCAR. Named after my papaw. I called Tony and told him while he was at work at the Budweiser plant. When he got in from work, he sent me this email I want to share.
Moby,
It was great to finally talk to you this afternoon. I could detect the true disappointment in the fact you had wanted to name your hound after your grand pappy and the genuine gratitude you expressed for the offer.
So here is what we want to do here at Dry Creek Bloodhounds!
If between all of us, we can find a search and rescue (SARS) organization or a law enforcement agency that has a qualified trainer and handler we will donate a male bloodhound in your name. He will be named “Dry Creek Oscar”, in the memory of your grand pappy.
Hopefully he will never have the duties, but it would be great to know that if when we (You and Me) are older, ole Oscar may be able to track us down when we wonder away from the security of our nursing home, or God forbid if a young child (like Gracie) is lost he saves the day.
I hope you will consider this modified offer and I am sure with your connections we can find an organization that will train and utilize “Oscar” to the best of his abilities.
Let us know, and we will (with help from Gracie and yourself) pick a puppy when they come that you feel best fits your grand pappy's memory.
Tony & DeAnna
Brother Tony & Sister Deanna,
You’ve almost made a grown clown cry.
You bet it's OK.
Dry Creek Oscar will be a fine specimen of a very noble breed, and if called upon will step up to the duties required to save the day, or save a life.
This is such a beautiful idea, it’s almost poetry.
Papaw is looking down from Heaven, & I Can feel the warmth of his smile.
He would have loved that dog, too.
