Preface: Caleb's paternal grandfather purchased a donkey several months back (Caleb dubbed him "Bob Steven"- a name that still baffles me as I have no idea why he chose that particular name). Caleb reported they bought Bob Steven for $80 but recently sold him for a mere $8.00. When I asked Caleb why they sold Bob Steven (who was purchased to keep the coyotes away from their cattle) he gave me the following explanation:
Caleb: "Granddaddy had to sell Bob Steven because he nearly killed Charlie (their middle-aged farm dog). If Charlie hadn't been so close to the fence, Bob Steven probably would have killed him. Charlie is much better now but he still walks with a limp".
Me: "What will granddaddy do now that there is no donkey to deter the coyotes from attacking the cows?"
Caleb: "I think he's just going to try and shoot them all. I found one the other day in the back field granddaddy had shot and I poked his dead body with a stick".
Caleb is too funny! I miss him.
