They would take them outside and beat them.<br />Great photos of your tour. You learn so much from viewing the past about history and appreciating their lives and comparing them with many luxuries we take for granted. <br />I can't image spinning my own cloth or cooking over a fire day after day.<br />Glad you enjoyed your outing.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559612002837383953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-6896220053681454262018-07-24T02:13:01.746-04:002018-07-24T02:13:01.746-04:00Hi Denise. I just read your comment on my post abo...Hi Denise. I just read your comment on my post about Boone. Thank you for your kind thoughts. I haven't responded to any of the other comments yet; I just couldn't make myself. I did think of you and Duncan because you are right, we did start our pups together and it was fun and reassuring to have a friend going thought the same puppy trials. We have always had a dog and each one lived its life out--long lives. The first dog, Baron, a Short Hair, had to be put down because he had cancer, but he had a long life. Next was Ginger, another short hair. She was a dog pound rescue, such a sweet girl and she just got really old--and I remember seeing my husband carry her to the car to take her to the vet's. Our daughter's golden retriever Ginger had her front leg amputated because she had cancer and my daughter borrowed money from the bank to pay to for the surgery. Heather was living in Denver at the time, so I was taking care of her dog. I was on the phone with her when Ginger walked across the room sat at my feet and collapsed and was gone. Just that fast. Now that was awful because I had to tell my daughter what had just happened. Next was Max and he died in his bed here at home. He was another short hair rescue and such a good boy. He was 14, so he lived long and happy, but Boone. He was only 4 and Gerald expected him to be the last dog. I am not sure that we will get another dog; he is looking, but it is hard. It is just hard. Give Duncan a good hug for me. I'll be back later to read this really good post. It's after midnight--I need to get bed. Again, thanks so much for being so supportive.

They come in all configurations and many gals used to have collections of them when country was king.
