Our New Pup

[RiverOtter]

I'll tag on another pup onto this thread...

Back on July 12th we lost Ali, our 7 year old bullmastiff, to a sudden heart arrhythmia. We were lucky that it was peaceful as she went to sleep and didn't wake up.

While we were down in Sowal two weekends ago Mrs SC's sister called letting us know that her neighbor in Asheville, NC was looking to place her 1-1/2 year old Redbone Coonhound with a good home rather than put her into a shelter. I wasn't initially receptive but was worn down. That being said, last Friday I picked up Dixie. She's a sweetie and is adjusting to Maximus. We're not out of the bully biz and are getting a bullmastiff pup in Jan / Feb, but they are just big couch potatoes with about 15 seconds of endurance. Mrs SC can go running in Kennesaw National Park with Dixie which is something she's always wanted to be able to do.

So, here's the new girl. Not that great a picture because it was sent to us via cell phone. I doctored it up as best as I could...

Good looking pup. Sorry about Ali.

SinginChicken, has she bayed for Y'all, yet? How does she sound?

Sweet Pea is pretty melodious, but The General had a long, beautiful bay that always made you smile.

I really like the name Winston! I knew a German Shorthaired Pointer named Winston - he was great retriever!! They got another pointer and named him Churchill.

LOL! The bark is something else. We haven't figured out where it comes from or how a 76 pound dog can make it!

Winston--

SC/Will--Pretty pup!! Sorry too about Ali.
