My first entry into my Rabbit Journal for 2003-2004 season is a sad one. I am sorry to report that Maggie has passed away. Maggie as my regular readers know that she was one of the few dogs that Uncle NoPass named that wasn't a family name.

Always a slow dog, she had an uncanny nose that could not only cold trail, but could scent where the rabbit was thinking about going. Last year, she trailed and barked most of the season on cotton tails that the other dogs couldn't scent or even believe exist. They were right. No one had the heart to make her stay in the pen while we hunted, so she happily went with us, chasing ghosts of rabbits past.

Her contributions are chronicled in The Rabbit Journal 02-03 which easily surpassed redneckin in popularity

Julie
Is a tricolor with show beagle looks. She could benefit from an occasional xanax. She is a tad high strung and a bit standoffish. Her voice is a kind of a high pitched squeal. She is fast…the fastest of the pack. Julie has passed


Maizie
Maizie has passed. I'll be moving her profile and links to a Memorial page.
Well, Maizie tends to run to the heavy side, but in a tight hard way. She is a happy dog that tends to go her own way until another announces a hot track. She has an annoying habit of rolling over on her back when you’re going to pick her up. She’s ever really had the collar used on her. She thinks it’s the “Best Dog Collar” and insists that she be selected to wear one. The reason? She knows it, generally, means that we are going out for a run.


Abbie is the newest addition to the Rabbit Journal Pack. She's a black/ tan / Blue tick beagle pup that has papers. Not a rarity for the pack, but not something I really look for. Some of the best dogs I've seen have some sooner in them.
She's going to be a fast dog. If she can smell as fast as she can run, she'll leave the rest of the pack in the dust.
Abbie's not deceased, she just moved on to be a four year old boy's pet yard dog. The last I heard, they were quite a pair
