Southern Indiana clubs

Okay, so what breed of dog do you think I should buy for my granddaughter's first show dog? I obviously want her to fit in locally. This is a photo of the local dog club: what do you think - Plott hound? Bluetick? Treeing Walker? How about an American Leopard Hound - yeah that's it! They are blue merle - maybe I can convince my son-in-law it's just an ugly aussie!

40 - Love

My husband the athlete!

This is my husband's idea of exercise - he goes out every evening with his dogs, a tennis racket and a ball. He then hits the ball as far as he can, the dogs retrieve it and bring it back to him. This is repeated until 1) the dogs lay down somewhere in the yard too pooped to continue or 2) the mosquitos get too bad or 3) the dogs start fighting over the ball! The dogs take this exercise very seriously - they wait by the door every evening until he takes them outside. Rain or shine, they don't care, after all the ball is going to get wet anyway!

Introducing......

the newest member of the Oshinski pack.....

Smoky !

Born: 6-26-10

Smoky arrived from Pullman Washington via Delta airlines on September 7th. He shares a grandfather with Zipper and his personality reminds us a lot of Zipper too.

The pack has adjusted well to the newest member: Anna would really rather not be bothered - thank you very much - but that's her purgative as the senior dog. Big Red thinks Smoky is heaven sent - a buddy that wants to play rough! Paris really doesn't want to have anyone know she likes him; they play in secret behind the rocker recliner in the evenings. Zipper and Smoky are best buds, spending long hours watching the world go by in the dog run. Panache, as ever the dominant female, just demands respect. (I think her name should be Aretha!)

Smoky is a happy-go-lucky boy and I hope you get to love him as much as we do.
