Sorry for yur loss Preacher...
I almost had number 5 down a few days ago but somehow she coming through it but not out the woods, she's 15 and the oldest of the lot, one of the pups from my old Pop Fannie bitch, a 95' model. Think i'm just prolonging the inevitable, she has the smell of death on her, but she's been a good ole hound and never pampered so i brought her in a couple days but I tell you I ain't got no house dogs, this one just come in to say good by I fear.
I'll give you the advice the old Englishman give me, "not breeding is like living on capital, if the hounds ain't working for you in the field and the breeding lot,... some day you awaken to find the account empty".

Dang Rick, we've both had a bad year for losing old friends. I lost two myself. I know you remember old Jack.

In fact, ol Jack and Kalagha helped start Spirit so many years ago. I remember running with her as a pup down at Skyline. She wasn't fast enough yet to leave my dogs. She was a good one for sure.

I need to call you! Call coming in the next few days! We need to hunt at least once this year.
