They shooed stray livestock into their own pens, milked their
neighbors» lowing
cows and slopped their starving hogs, and
at family tables they bowed their heads and said grace over the last of the meat raised by black hands.
We try to never walk the dogs after dark because my
neighbor walked his dog on the road
at night once, and he could hear the pack of coyotes «pacing» them the entire way just beyond the flat pasture... Another
neighbor used to shoot coyotes regularly because they picked off his chickens one by one and came around his
cows & horses.
