Grandpa said to get to heaven drop a king snake and follow til' his road straightens, slow down at the sign that says bump and watch for a three toed turtle. When you see knight's store at Buford's cutoff with a big buzzard crouched on the weather vane and hear a mole cricket chirp from Baker's prairie stop the car and whistle for the blue tic I sent to meet ya' Bren PenShells | ||

Bren, I really enjoyed this one. A Blue Tic is a kind of hound, isn't it? My Tigger is part Plott hound and we have a group howl every night when my hubby gets home from work.  ljc http://ljcbluemuse.blogspot.com/ | ||

Hi Lisa, yes it's a hound, they're sort of blue gray short hair. I bet your dog has a mottled coat, I love to look at markings on animals. Watch em' strut! LOL On the group howl! I love that! Bren PenShells | ||
