Bordering Hunting Creek is beautiful Tuckaway Farm where Bob and Judi Quaife reside. Everyone on the farm – workers and extended family alike – enjoys the love of friendly one-and -a-half-year-old pup, Folsom.

Bob Quaife found Folsom. He was talking to a friend at church about how much he missed his Rhodesian Ridgeback, Charlie, and that he wanted a new puppy. The friend told him about Redbone Coon Hounds, so Bob and his wife, Judi, stopped by a farm in Virginia on their way home from a New York Life business trip in Washington, DC and picked up Folsom.

Folsom is named because his daddy is named Johnny Cash and his mom is named June Carter. If you are a Johnny Cash fan you know that Folsom Prison Blues is one of Johnny’s most famous songs. Written in 1953, it was first recorded and released as a single in 1955, and later included on his debut studio album “Johnny Cash” with His Hot and Blue Guitar!

Folsom loves to “help” groom the farm’s dressage ring by running circles in the sand. He does this every morning to get out all the zoomies. When he was just a little pup, he loved to sit on Bob’s lap on his tractor, but now that he is too big to go on the tractor, he just loves running in circles - doing figure eights and catching sticks.  

“I like to grab him on nice, warm afternoons and take him for hikes on our neighborhood trails like Harrods Creek Park, but one of his favorite things is when his brother and litter mate, Easy, comes to play! He comes over for a lot of playdates,” Bob and Judi’s daughter, Kathie, said. She continues, “I love his expressive eyes.”

Thank you to the whole Quaife family for sharing the story of your family’s fabulous, Folsom!
