...gone sour!
Hangin' his head low, scuffing his feet & kicking pebbles with each step he took...
a young feller saunters up our drive at dawn....
Trouble weighed heavy on his shoulders...
He's working harvest, driving combine for a neighboring farmer.
Since harvest starts with the rising of the sun & ends a day~ long after sunset,
this young man has been camped out down by the creek in a tent with a BBQ & cooler. It's saving him a bundle of money from having to commute 45 miles each way, each day.
Scared~is written across his brow.
His hands were wringing themselves into knots.
A whisper~is all his vocal cords allowed.

"Morn'n Cowboy" he begins...
"I am so sorry.."
"I was on my cell phone late last night, walking the distance to find the "can you hear me now" spot.."
"Brindle was ahead of me, nose to the ground.."
"And then he was GONE!!"
"I hung the phone up & chased after him with my flashlight a waving."
"No lights were glowing in your windows, all looked tucked in."
"I knew you kenneled your dogs at night, and there was not a howl to be heard."
"A feeling came over me telling me that I'd better have a look about anyway, so I dodged the lilacs & a sprinkler still watering your lands; stumbled over a stump & landed in the briars."
"I called to Brindle as loud as I dared"
"There was still not a growl! and I hated to prowl...."
"As I unwound myself from a roll of wire behind your garage..."
"I recognised the sound that chain link makes when bumped..."
"Seems as Brindle scaled the 6 ft. in a flash.."
"I am so sorry Cowboy!"
"I was too late!"
"The glow from my flashlight found Brindle~who had found Millie!"
"Racing around to find the gate, I rushed in & tried my best to stop them!"
"I am so sorry, Cowboy!"
"I was too late!"

What it also gives you is another huge gouge in the already thin Cowboy wallet!
