Several dogs, many cats, a box turtle, a cottontail rabbit, cattle, a goat, and a few horses. Oh, and my sister.
When we were very small, she was a biter - she bit me and mom grabbed her, then bit her. After that, when she got mad, she'd bite her own forearm.

The worst was a horse. While talking to another mounted cowboy, that SOB reached around and bit my toes sticking out of the stirrup! I got loose, kicked him in the side of his head - then hooked him in the front of the shoulders, and raked to his ass (drew blood)!
THEN we commenced the bronc-ride! (I won) smile
For a bit, I thought I might be missing toes! He drew blood through my boots! But turned into about the best horse I ever had. (Dad said we deserved each other smile )


I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
