I got word from my sister that my Dad passed last night. I was trying to get back there before he died but I didn't get enough warning. Dang pneumonia worked fast. I pretty much got my love of dogs from my Dad. Him and his brother had greyhounds and hunted fox with them in the NW corner of N. Dak. This was in the 50's when I was just a pup on into the early 60's. They got retired or culls off the track down in Rapid City. They usually had an older 4 door car that they took the back seat out of and would drive the dry prairie potholes until they jumped a fox. I usually rode in the back hanging on to that round strap on the back of the front seats. The dogs and I all looking over the front seat for the fox. When they jumped the passenger would open the back door and those dogs just exploded out of there. They had a couple bigger males that were faster but the smaller females were more agile and made first contact. If they happened to get to a badger hole they had a roll of barbed wire in the trunk that they run down the hole till they heard the fox growl and then they twisted the wire up till they could pull one mad as heck fox out. There was a $2 bounty on them and it kept them in gas. Thanks for letting me ramble. RIP Pop

It sure sucks bud, but it’s at least the natural order in life. Your pops had a long and eventful life. I won’t lie, I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t tell us you piled out of that back seat and ran step for step with those dogs!

May the fruits of your father continue in you and your family!
