EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

my buddies had four dogs die yesterday somebody poisoned them with anti freeze who would do something like that. one was there only strike dog that they had got from mr mason his name was patches and 2 where mastif pit pups named johnny and june and the last one was a  pit cur mix named hank jr from our old dog hank that had died earlier in the year . but why would some body kill somebodies dogs better yet poison them its terrible now they got to start over on dogs. so give a shout out to them there on these boards

we got patches from mandy but ya it sucks haveing to put 4 dogs in the ground in one night

If I ever caught some d-bag doing that I would be spending the night in jail

That sucks does that guy have alot of neigbors?

Damn shame for Patches to go out like that, wish it would have been a natural death.  Sorry to hear about him and your other dogs. There is a special place for people who poison dogs! >:(

Here is a picture of the first hog Patches caught for us. Patches is the catahoula on the rack.

Sorry to hear about all the dogs.

Several of us knew Patches, and he will be missed.

How do they know it was Antifreeze?

yeah patches was a good dog he was finding hogs for hogdoggintexas he was as a heck of dog even with one bum leg  it would have been nice for him to go out natural he still had alot in him

anti freeze wont let a dog digest food and we kept giving him food he would eat it put puke it right back up but we dont know it for sur if it was they had the dogs on there property down the street from the house people kept messing with dogs and we found abunch of catfood put down by the dogs the neighbors i guess didnt like them and kept calling animal control on them but they just said the dogs are in good health so didnt do anything but that didnt stop who ever kept calling animal control all the dogs died at the same time so something is up

It is a felony to do that.....4 counts at that......I'd do everything in my power to find out who did it and get them put behind bars......bet they would think twice when Brutus was having his way with them in an 8X10....

lol we are they sure will love bein behind bars we got a trail cam about to go up we got two dogs they didnt get yet that we know of so were working on gettin it up to try and catch the people

Sorry to hear about the dogs. I know of someone else whos had that done to them. People are so cruel, I hope you catch those people.

Patches was a a small dog with a huge heart. If he did have a disability, nobody ever told him about it. He did more on three legs than we wish some of our four legged dogs could do. He loved to hunt and gave it his all every time he hit the woods. Despite his limitations, he would hunt out with the rest of them, and if there was ever a dog that could be counted on to be there when you or another dog needed him, it was Patches. There was never any bickering or arguing while hunting because he would just ignore other dogs' threats. It seemed like he was always either nose to the ground or head up listening for another dog's request for help. Whether he found swine himself or was helping out, you could count on him to lay teeth on a backside if needed and he was always caught with the bulldogs. He has been one of my favorite hog dogs in terms of his desire to hunt, willingness to help, and his love for a "good boy" and a pat on the head. I'll miss him always, and I'm glad he got to step up and be #1 before he left for better hunting grounds. God must have a heck of a hog problem up there to need a dog like Patches.

That's about the lowest thing ever. I hope the scum who did that gets jail time. That's no way for a hunting dog to die.

I'm sorry to hear that... I hope justice is served... bad deal.

You made me what I am today, courage at its best. You wanted me to know no fear, a cut above the rest. Not only have I mastered that, I've thrown in loyalty too. Look past my eyes into my soul, you know I'd die for you. I'll watch your kids, I'll watch your house,Your praise will be my crown.Ask what you will, I'll do my best, I'll never let you down.but oneday ill have to leav you and go very far away. untill then ill be by your side on my chane or at the bay.

RIP Patches

ahh my boy patches... the day we went to pick him up i fell in love with him. he had the most amazing eyes i had ever seen. he always favored casey over me but i didnt care i still loved him. and ya know i never really noticed that he had a bum leg while he hunted, he was an amazing hog dog dispite his disabilities. but its because he had alot of heart.. more than i even do. im glad that we ended up with him. he was the first dog i hunted with!! and i will miss him so much. im gonna miss my baby june though.  she was MY dog and was the cutest thing ever! i'd never seen such a cool mask on a dog. i will always love you june.  :)  and jhonny.. my cash.. he was so sweet. he made me and all my guys wicked happy for the very short time he was with us. and last but deff. not least.. junior. he'll be very missed.. he was an amazing pup. and him and bella made a heck of a team. they were just puppies but they knew what they were doing..  :'(

i will miss all four of these dogs.. they were like my babies  :).. and i loved them so much.

and the a$$h*!e$ who did this make me sick.. why would someone do that to a dog? four dogs! it really upsets me that someone would go so low to poisen helpless dogs. but.. im not letting it go and i will find out who did this.

Sorry to hear about that....hopefully you can catch them and put their butts behind bars

Once you do catch him, I'd like to start a mainline drip of antifreeze on him. It would be great practice for me hitting veins AND revenge all in one sweet little package. Who says they don't make GREEN lactated ringers?

growling still

thats just wrong, sorry to hear abou that

HMmmm...won't say what I'd do.  Sorry for you and your dogs.

I hope you used a no flash game cam. I did that once before and they took my first camera so I bought a no flash and ended up catching them.

That is an awsome poem hoggdoggin texas very inspiring and sorry to hear about your dogs.

Ditto on the poem, touching. Nothing drives a woman more crazy than messing with her pack, and sounds like megan091 means business. I wish her happy hunting in seeing that these animals did not die in vain. ;) Get'em!

haha thanks slimpickins

Sorry to hear of your loss, guys.  I hope you nail their nads to the wall.  My wife and I bought a chocolate lab when we got married.  Had him 9 1/2 years and somebody poisoned him right in our backyard.  He was the best dog I ever had.  There wasn't an aggressive bone in his body, until I told him to be aggressive.  He'd do anything I told him to do.  Some POS poisoned him. 

real sorry to hear about this, hate hearing stuff like this. i hope they are caught, but still won't bring those great dogs back. very sorry, RIP Patches :(

Any updates on possible suspects?

there are some people that it could be hog hunting is not the most popular sport in my area we have had animal control called out countles times but the animal control guy said there is nothing wrong with them and when they stoped coming is when our dogs end up dead

People in Conroe really dont like Dogs period. We had animal control called on us all the time, For no reasons as well! Some lady went as far as sending a letter to the editor of the Conroe Courier with false accusations, she said that we had over 30 pit bulls and that they were just running loose and were a danger to all the elderly and children in our area....I laughed my butt off when I read what she had wrote, because we didnt have pitbulls at all  :D but that letter got us evicted from our property even though we did not have 30 pit bulls and our dogs NEVER ran loose. Everyone knows what happens when you let a hunting dog run loose...they go out and hunt... so common sense would be that you never let em run loose unless you are out hunting. We could not afford to lose a good dog, But every one assumed cause we had a lot of dogs that every dog running around the neighborhood was ours. One of our neighbors had a chow and a pitbull that ran loose all the time, they tried to attack our neighbors son and our other elderly neighbor (they knew those were not our dogs) and I later found out why that lady wrote the nasty letter about us, her little yorkie was mauled and killed by the chow so it ticked her off and she decided to blame it on us, But it was too late, our landlords had already read the letter and told us that they were being harrased cause of the dogs  :-X We had our lawyer contact the editor of the Conroe Courier and let him have it because that story was false, they made sure to send us a photographer and a reporter so that they could make a retraction to that story. I remember when they came over to the house, the reporter was a lady and the photographer was a guy, They were shocked at how friendly all the dogs were, my niece who at the time could not walk very well would stumble through where all the dogs were chained and not once did they ever knock her down or do anything aggressive to her. Because of our dogs she is not afraid of animals. That was three years ago but we did come out on the front page of the newspaper, Big Ol picture of me with one of our catahoulas  ;D and a long story, I will try to scan the letter the lady wrote and the retraction and post it as another topic. Later on I ran into the ladys daughter in law and we had a conversation about the "people with the pitbulls" and I made her feel so stupid, They really thought those dogs were ours. She didnt know I lived with "the pitbulls" until the end of our conversation when I set the story straight. Find those people and get justice for your dogs because they will keep doing it and keep bugging about them. We were always afraid that someone would do that to us but it never happened and I cant imagine what my father would have done if someone dared to step on our property to do that, I think he would have found a spot in the woods with his gun and waited for them to come back  ;)

thats just crazy cristina, id like to see that article

speaking of poetry...i heard a good one the other day...... He is your friend , your partner, your defender, your dog. you are his life, his love, and his leader. he will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart, you owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Sorry to hear about your dogs.  Had three of mine poisoned with anti freeze and ended up two died.  I like yall do not know who did it but I have a notion that I might and if I ever see him again I will not think twice about kicking the number 2 out of him.  It is a long story and it is not our first run in.  Just wish I knew his name or something other than his face.  I had a half lacy and a half mountain cur that would have done anything in this world for me and it really is a kick to the gut when something like this happens.  The other was half catahoula and half ause that was really looking good(know an australian shepard is a weird hog dog but they do have a lot of heart and stay with them)  the final dog was just a LITTLE pup about 9 weeks old but thank goodness she lived although she is pretty small still she is alive and doing good.  It was bad enough on me that we are looking hard for another place to live out of town.  I really feel yalls pain and although this happened a couple of months ago I still get all worked up about it.  Thanks for letting me rant and rave for a min.
