2200 pound dog


A short post- last night we were sitting around and Papa was telling stories. Lots of stories about growing up on the farm, dogs helping to herd the cows, horse stories and even a little bull- no, literally. He mentioned going to the fair and taking his bull- a 2200 pound bull. He led him by the nose and took him to the fair.

Time came for a parade at the fair and he set off to lead his bull in the parade. Other bulls were groaning at it (not sure that is the right term but for me it best describes the sound being made to relay the story). His dad said "Are you sure you want to bring that bull in the parade?". Papa replied that he did and set off with the bull.

The funny statement of it all was when he said about the bull "he was just like a dog". Sure, a dog that weighed a ton! I am sure there are more details to this story but here is the place holder to add to it.
