Journo entry: We are not the same

Sippin coffee, was showing ratdog when Ham & Bacon were growing up from runt stage

I was hearing something that raised my hackles, this didn’t raise the hackles

This did

Sipping coffee ratdog, being tempered, I don’t fly off the handle, I’m more devious than that, I take negative energy and turn it into a positive, as think of something good to balance out the bent brow.

was a time i heard there’s a bear on the picnic table, stopped oiling a leather hardness for one of the Belgien drafts, looked, that’s not bear, it’s a big fluffy dog “can we keep it”, Went out there, it didn’t move, noticed no collar, no tags, then I noticed bloody paw prints on seat of the table. we’re just looking at each other. Get a bowl of water, kid brought it, the dog drank it all as I was applying a scratching by one ear. His paws were a bloody mess, mush, just mush. Vet can out (money) anti biotics. Stuck around he did, wouldn’t come the house even in winter, acted like he was imposing, built a shelter out of hay bales, heard giggling in there, crawling in seen the kid pulling on the dog’s purple tongue, tail is just a smacking the ground. Showed up in May, stayed the summer, Fall and winter, come Spring I heard” I looked everywhere I cannot find Bear dog”, Well, maybe Bear dog, just needed a rest for a while, maybe he lost his family and he’s out looking for them ” I hope he be ok out there”, you done real good looking after Bear dog, “I miss Bear dog already” me to kid, me to, come on, dry your eyes, we gotta feed the horses

I betcha if I took Sophie outback to do some plinking, she’d smiling and plinking real good, for she knows

Aim small, miss small
