"FRANKENSTEIN"
(The Dog)

(Verse 1)

Well I bought myself a coon dog

Bought him sight unseen

I ordered him straight from an Ad

In a Full Cry Magazine

When I first laid eyes on him

I thought that I'd go blind

I never knew what ugly was

Til this ugly dog was mine


(Chorus)

I Named Him,

Frankenstein, Frankenstein

That's My Hound Dogs Name

Yea Frankenstein, Frankenstein

So Ugly It's A Shame

No Better Dog At The Tree

No Better Dog Trackin Game

Than Frankenstein, Frankenstein

Yea That's My Hound Dogs Name


(Verse 2)

Well one night me and Frankenstein

Were on a real hot track

Frank caught that coon in the water

And the coon got on Frank's back

The event that happened next

Will make you laugh no doubt

That coon took one look at Frank

He puked, then he passed out


(Chorus)

I Named Him,

Frankenstein, Frankenstein

That's My Hound Dogs Name

Yea Frankenstein, Frankenstein

So Ugly It's A Shame

No Better Dog At The Tree

No Better Dog Trackin Game

Than Frankenstein, Frankenstein

Yea That's My Hound Dogs Name

Yea Frankenstein,Frankenstein

Yea, That's-- My Hound-- Dogs-Name

It's been a while. Thank you Pete he will always be a legend to me as well.

Boone Shockley brought his pack of cat hounds up to Northeastern California in the dry, rocky, windy, sandy, sage brush desert and consistently treed cats. Boone's dog were one of only very few packs that I ever knew of to consistently rig bobcats in this desert without snow and catch them. Boone's dog were the real deal cat hounds and he was a real deal cat hunter that caught cats in some very rough conditions. Sorry to hear he is gone.

DON'T WATCH THEM CROSS THE ROAD, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY OUTTA HEARING. LOL

I have some more pictures from back in the day. email me and I'll tell you the story of how I came across them. -Pete
