We have had a rough week and have'nt been able to post any up dates because my husband Justin has been in the hospital all week. Now that things are back to nornmal I wanted to give a little update on Alex and his pup.
Justin and I are not Alex's parents but, we are so very close to him. We feel as if he was ours and try our best to the best influence that we can be. Long story short without revealing to much info, Alexs mom is a single mom, trying to work and raise 3 children. She also plays a large roll in his life but, Alexs hunting life gets put on the back burner cause of lack of time, money and hunting resources. Alex dad is a good man that is just going down a rough road and getting to think about life a little, in jail. Please dont think that he has bad parents, they love him very much but where attention, hunting and his outdoors life lacks with them, we pick up! He has a passion for hunting that we just couldnt let die. When he is with us, we let him experience any and everything possible when it comes to the woods and the sport of dog hunting. Guesse you could say we share custody!! lol cause we have him about every other weekend, holidays and hoping for all summer long!!
I got the phone call today from Tie, that the pup is on its way from Mississippi tonight and I will have to meet them in the morning to pick it up. Alex is with his mom right now and has no idea that i will be picking him up in the morning, not to go to school but to head out to Beaumont to get his pup! its going to be hard when I talk to him this evening to make plans for the weekend, not to say anything about his surprise trip in the morning....he thinks we have another week wait! lol
Last weekend Alex set his coon trap in the back pasture by the pond and for 2 night, it didnt catch anything but, on Tues. I came home from the hospital to just feed the horses and dogs...thought I would just check his trap to see if his bait mixture worked and it did...he caught his 1st OPOSSUM!!!! Me being a girl, was not too sure what in the heck to do, I just opened the door on the trap and grabbed the fence post...cause if it was coming to me, i was running!! Thank God that huge thing decided he wanted the woods more than me!! I sent Alex a text and told him that he caught a possum and that boy had the nerve to ask me if We were gonna keep it!! With a big NO, He fially called me back when he got out of school just a laughin!! All i could say was I couldnt wait til he had to get his 1st coon out of that trap...cause you get a good chance to be up close and personal withem !! Lord knows that possum was hissin at me like mad!!
I will post pictures of Alex and his pup through out the weekend cause I'm sure he will be "training" him all weekend. Wish us luck!! Thanks again for all of you who have helped or offered to help this young fellas dream come true. Yall have givien this boy meaning and values that he will take with him always. Thanks Yall!!
Tonya & Justin Waterman
& for Alex!

very very good story. ya'll are great people for what ya'll are doing for Alex. There is no better reward then seeing that big smile on a youngsters face. i hope it all goes well. i'm no coon hunter so i can't offer any advice, but i wish Alex and his "joint custody" parents the best of luck.

just watch, that's a "dog of a lifetime" in the making right there, with all the time and effort I bet Alex puts into him. Everyone involved in this deal did a great thing, and I'd like to congratulate and thank you all.
