Well, I hope you didn't give out our names for references.
Exposing that poor unsuspecting animal to your Hillbilly Hoedowns would be considered animal cruelty in civilized society.

This isn't one of your northern foo foo dogs you carry around in your
purse.
He is a coon hound. That is the ultimate "hillbilly" dog. I bet he
will sing along at the bluegrass festivals and the people there will
love him. I actually looked at a Walker coon hound when we were
looking at dogs and he was on the short list but my wife really wanted
a lab puppy.

This same agency has a treeing walker coonhound, which I like also. If the Redbone falls through,
which it may if it has severe health problems, then I'll check out the treeing walker.

We had our eyes on a red bone at another agency. Then the lady said,

"John:

I might add that Nanny will require heartworm treatment, so will have to be kept very quiet for a
couple of months."

This was the third communication about the dog, and she's just getting to the fact that the dog has
heartworms. I called my vet to discuss the situation. She told me I'd be much better off looking for
another dog, especially after what I went through with the last one.
