Cornbread and Buttermilk, a Southern Puppy story.
“Just Two Crazy Kids and a Puppy”.
The Cornbread and Buttermilk: Southern Dogs Manifesto
“Food, Family & the Faithful Dog”
“Here in the South, the kitchen may be the heart of the home,
but the dog lies faithfully beside the hearth.
We believe:
- A Southern dog is more than a pet—they’re kin.
- Dogs are woven into our stories, fields, porches, and family traditions.
- Training a puppy is a sacred rite of patience and love.
- A dog is a bridge between generations—Granddaddy’s bird dog, Mama’s porch guardian, our children’s playmate.
- The South teaches us to live slow, savor moments, return to the land—and a dog teaches us the same.
- Kitchens, gardens, and hunting fields share one truth: life tastes sweeter when shared with a good dog.
- We honor the dogs who came before, celebrate the pups just starting out, and cherish the lessons they teach us.
We will laugh, learn, and love alongside this new life in our household.
Here, we lift up:
- Stories of the dogs who shaped our memories.
- Practical wisdom for raising and training pups with gentleness and respect.
- Tales from our region—coon dogs in the hollers, bird dogs in pine country, yard hounds by the clothesline.
- The way dogs bring families together and root us deeper to a place.
Our pledge:
To tell stories that smell of wood smoke, wet leaves, biscuits on Sunday morning—and a puppy asleep under the table.
To teach with humility.
To speak with gratitude.
To welcome every listener to the porch, where puppies tumble in the grass and memories live on.
This new chapter is for our puppy—Truffles, and for all Southern family dogs, past and future.”

Cornbread and Buttermilk, a Southern Puppy story.
Truffles Goes to School: Lessons from Jenny, Mike, and the Road to Discipline
There comes a moment in every young hound’s life when the good Lord nudges them—ever so gently—toward the straight and narrow. And in our little corner of Canton, where the pines lean in like old aunties waiting for gossip, that moment arrived on a quiet Tuesday morning when Truffles—our whiskered, wild-eyed German Wirehair Pointer pup stole Cornbreads left shoe.
That’s when we knew: it was time for school.
So gather close, dear friends, and rest your bones in our warm kitchen while we spin you a tale about new beginnings. Today on Cornbread & Buttermilk, we’re hittin’ the digital trail, signing ourselves and young Truffles up for an online puppy training course taught by the saintly duo Jenny and Mike—two voices as calm as creek water and twice as reassuring.
They promise structure.
They promise manners.
They promise a path where chaos gives way—slowly—to discipline.
And Lord willing, with their gentle guidance, Truffles just might learn to sit, stay, and mind his elders… or at least stop treating Buttermilk’s good hydrangeas like a personal trampoline.
So pour yourself a cup, settle in, and join us as we embark on this adventure—paws first—into Episode Ninety: “Truffles Goes to School.”
