I won’t lie still tears me up for sure and no doubt it will for a while. He was the best I ever knew. And I don’t know that I’ll ever run with one that’s better then him. I do have one of his pups she’s 4 months old now. We couldn’t find her a home and y’all actually helped me name her Marlene. Looking now I can’t help but think it was meant to be we have 3 homes lined up for her and all fell threw. I’m gonna do all I can In my power to make her half the dog he was.
yes thats the book. i could kick myself for not getting a copy back then. when that guy died his dogs went to a man in new mexico that lived in the moogallen(spelling) range and hunted lion.he always advertised them in full cry.

my blue dog was born in 1995 and was killed in about 2003. along with him was my plott female that was gifted to me by a famous plott man and little did i know it would be his last litter raising as he died very soon after as well.both mashed in highway.havent had hounds since 2007 and last hunt out west was in 2005. i am to crippled up to chase hounds any longer.
old add from warren
looks like warren died in 2012 at age of 91years.i thought he had died in early 2000's for some reason. i know he was pretty sick for a long time per my buddy that went to see him often back then. he had a female from warren that was an outstanding hound .
Yup that book has all sorts short stories from him hunting all over and full of pictures to witch I thought was cool. I’m saving that old add that’s cool man
My condolences. Losing a pet is tough, especially when you have a solid bond, no shame in admitting it either. My current 8 yr old Mal will be a devastating loss when I have to say goodbye I'm sure, he is by far the best dog I have ever had the pleasure of rooming with.
Losing a dog is super-tough. I hope you find contentment and enjoy the great memories you have. And for goodness sake, get another dog pronto. Because there's no such thing as a bad dog.
I am so sorry for your loss @Bluetick21. I very well know what I means to lose a special dog that is a part of your family. Some will stand out more than others because of the close bond you have with and the protectiveness of you, at least in my life. I have lost a few special dogs over the years. . . Kasey Lynn and Montana will probably always be my favorites. But I have many that I still miss. . .
