So I was hunting with old man Emmit when I was a boy
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.
