My old dogs were brothers and different as night and day except for hunting ground hogs then they were a tag team. Burt and Ernie both were big hound dogs and yes Bert and Ernie my ex girlfriend named them, I should have taken a clue from them as they didn't like her at all. I am 5'11" and Burt could stand up put his paws on my shoulder and look me in the eyes and Ernie was as big too. They love to hunt ground hogs or muskrats or coons. They would sit and watch a hole half a day till the ground hog came out, Then it was on! They would circle the ground hog and one of them was always between the hog and the whole then they would move in and take him down. They got 150 to 200 ground hogs together and they were very good at it.
Now the oil and water man knew that when they came they knew to do what they were there to do and not to go looking around. Bert would get in front of the house so he could watch the guy pull the hose to the house and put fuel oil in then go back to the truck and leave. Same thing when the guy that hauls water would come. The first time a buddy came by the house he jumped out of the car and ran around to the front ware he was met Bert. As he jumped up and put his paws on his shoulders and put him on his back on the hood of his car screaming for me. Poor Ronnie didn't know what to do but not move. I walked out to find Bert on top of him just looking like Hay man who are you? look to him. I told him to get down and he came over and sit by me and it was all good. Dad use to hate him because every time we would be under a car or truck working Bert would wait till dads hat would fall off and had his hand tied up and he would sneak under and start licking the top of dads bald head like there was not tomorrow! God dad would get so mad at him but man it was funny. They were 14 and 15 when they died. They been gone for 18 years and I still miss both of them they were just good old dogs.
I still remember the time the bible thumpers came to the door and dad ask them very nicely to leave and they just kept talking. All dad said was Bert Ernie to the car, The 2 guys just looked at each other like What? Bert & Ernie came out from behind the bushes and them 2 took off running with Bert & Ernie right on there heals! And they didn't come back again. Bert loved to take rides in the truck and there was no telling him no as he was going so he got to lots of places and never bothered anyone. He was just out and about having a good time, And he did. I wish I could have another dog just like him, He was just a good old dog. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
