And I asked him "Mr. Emmit" I said.
"Go ahead Wild" he replied
"What was the worst sick dog you ever had?"
Mr. Emmit stared out at the night, scratched his head and said "Years ago I had a little redbone gyp, she warn't no good dog but she warn't no bad dog neither. She was about to come along I think when she got yhe ear mites. I took her down to ole man Jones store and he sold me some kinda fancy medicine to clear'em up. But it didn't work. So I took her to the Vet and paid him 15 dollars for some special medicine, but that didn't work neither. so I took him down to Indian John and he told me to wait right there. He went and got his grandaddy's bottle of Bevill's lotion

(Let me stop the narrative and explain to our younger readers that Bevill's lotion was the hottest cure all medicine in the history of man, it was basically bottled hell. Now back to my time wasting story)

He took her head in his hand and pour the lotion in her right ear and rubbed it in...then he poured it in her left ear and rubbed it in. Then he stood back while she shook, she jumped, she reared and then she laid down and put her paws over her ears.".
I asked him "Did it work? Did it get rid of the ear mites?".
"He said yeah boy it did, but it killed her.".
"How?" I asked.
"Made her deaf as a post and she got run over by an 18 wheeler blowing hard on his air horn.". He said.

Old man Emmit's guaranteed, certified sanctified FLEA REMEDY:
WILL CURE YOUR FLEA PROBLEM OR DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK!!
(1)Take a bottle of cheap whiskey and a hand full of sand. Pour the whiskey down the dogs back,
(2)wait 2 1/2 to 15 minutes depending on how deep the dogs fur is.
(3) Pour the handfull of sand on the dog

The fleas will get drunk on the whiskey and go to fighting, then when the sand "appears" they will grab the "rocks" and beat each other to death with it.

I've never heard of Emit Brohard. Old man Emmit is a conglomeration of all the old southern gentlemen I grew up with as a boy. that species of man is dying out now, and their peculiar yet correct way of looking at things is fast dying out with them. I've started writing down the things they said, the wisdom if you want to call it that as I think of it and since I can't remember exactly who and said what I'm just lumping them together under the name "Old man Emmit".
Feel free to add any old amn emmitism you have.

Old man Emmit on a slick tree
"Boys, yall know my dog is a Walker, not one of those slow Blueticks your used to chasing. Why this tree is not really slick, Ol' Jethro just out ran the coon and beat him here by a few minutes. If you would just sit down and wait a few minutes that old Boar will walk up and climb that tree any minute now.....

Old man Emmit on treeing a possum.
Boy's there wasn't a possum in that tree, Old Jeb just treed so hard he blew all the fur off that coon's tail and when the judge saw that slick tail he said he was a possum and gave me minus points.

We have our own river guy around the Ambra Valley he has been know to wear tennis shoes all day and night chasing coons up and down the river. Now he stands about 6'7" and loves nothing better than to hunt that Ambra and if coon crosses dog better follow that coon. He broke his rifle one time beating on a log with his dog in it trying to get a coon. Many times he crossed in ice cold water no matter how high the water was. Everybody around these parts knows the breeder of Doc and Duck and many other nice dogs. He is liable to be spoted anywhere and resembles a big foot with a coon light. I am not sure he was not mistaken for a big foot track in the sand once, when his tennis shoes got full of sand and he peeled them off. Just a dang good thing he's friendly....Anybody know old Darryl. Stories could be written on this old boy.
