Moby Loses Battle with Christmas Tree and Plaster Wall --Moby said he got eaten up by attack dawgs yesterday, and didn't get a scratch then let a plaster wall and Christmas tree kick his butt the next day. He said, "Busted my head yesterday putting up the last of the Christmas stuff. Bottom of the basement stairs, there's a rough plaster wall. I had a big section of the tree from the fancy living room that we never go in. Thought I was on the bottom step, but I still had one to go. Broke my fall with my forehead on that rough plaster wall.

One of the most interesting sites I have ever seen. Just put your mouse on a city anywhere in the world and the newspaper front page appears

I don't have a clue who these kids are, but they are very impressive. Talk about picking and grinning, Moby. CLICK HERE

Habersham County was nominated by Rob Moore the editor of The Northeast Georgian. Rob provided us with a wealth of information and connected us with Sgt. Sosebee. Sgt. Sosebee, in turn also was a great resource in making our choice.

This puppy is due to be whelped in the next week or so, the projected date is November 26, 2009. The puppy will be selected by Moby and his family, and will be named "Dry Creek Oscar".

An official donation agreement is in the process, to insure that Oscar will be provided the best possible life of service. This agreement will be developed through the collaboration of all parties involved and we do not feel it will be a show stopper for any party involved.  We are only concerned for the welfare of all our Dry Creek Bloodhounds!

We look forward to working with the Habersham County Sheriff's Department and in providing the great state of Georgia, an asset in the fight against crime and / or the ability to rescue anyone in need.

Please accept our offer of donation with the agreement details to follow.

Thank you in advance and we look forward to further conversations.

Thank you Moby for selecting the Habersham County Sheriffs Office to receive Dry Creek Oscar. It is an honor to receive such a noble animal in the name of your beloved papaw. The first bloodhound I worked with was Jodi, she was a beautiful black and tan. She was known throughout north Georgia, when I would get called out they would ask me to bring Jodi. I was the man behind the dog that?s all. She taught me more about tracking than any man could. When she turned ten she developed cancer,  the vet tried to remove most of it but it was all over. About a week later we got a call in Forsyth County reference to an escape from a work detail, Jodi tracked the two subjects over ten miles and caught them both. She had stitches in her stomach but still pulled me through the briars, creeks and woods. That was her last capture, the vet told me it was  time for her to go to rest. I couldn?t do it, had a friend of mine take her to the vet. I believed I cried for a week. But she was buried on a sunny hill where she did most of her training. My little sisters name happened to be Jodi, she always thought she was named after her and that she was her angel.  Thanks again Moby you will be proud of Oscar.
