Old Charley. Blind and deaf still made his rounds. Stop at the house, eat, take a nap, roll through town, stop and take a nap and eat a little, he'd be back up to the farm by chore time. Still liked to ride. He was Chuck and Cheif's dad. Chuck would jump in back of a 4x4 pick-up with the gate up. If you got him excited he'd land on the hood, look around, and go over the cab to get into the bed. They hunted groundhogs together. Always had 3 or 4 ripening in the yard waiting to be eaten.
Someone dropped off a pit bull one summer. He'd grab the knot on the rope swing and my sister and I would swing him around. Mom came out the back door yelling at us one afternoon and he let go of the rope at the top of the swing and hit the ground running to get between us and her. She walked in and called the pound, knew she'd get bit, probably sooner than later.
Mom took in a German Shepherd shortly before losing her mind and leaving dad. A neighbor's dog came by and dad had a pile of puppies soon afterward. Borrowed a 12 gauge from one of his cousins and took her out and shot her a groundhog. Dad went from buying 100 pounds of dog food a week to buying 50 pounds every other week. She was quite a hunter. We talked about keeping one of the pups one afternoon, but when we got home the lady who was adopting them out had got the last 2 and the mom already.
Then there's Huck. He was my lean mean fat-reducing eating machine. Shared all my meals with him. Tried feeding him hi protein food and lots of fat and couldn't put any weight on him. He liked to run though. Would sometimes wake up to him having a shouting match with the coyotes out behind the house. He could be a turd. He liked to ride, too. All the way up to Cabela's like this, and most of the way back. He slept well that night. Still wish I knew who ran him over last summer a 1/4 mile from the house and didn't have the decency to stop and tell me.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
