You asked for it so here goes. Note no disrespect intended for his parents as they are super nice and did the best they could with what they had to work with.
When Indy was real young his dad had an old walker bitch with a litter of pups. Indy got to watching the pups nursing and thought they were having too much fun. Then he happened to notice that there were seven pups and eight teats, so he rooted right in. The old bitch accepted him. When it came time to worm and dust the pups his dad picked him up by the nap of the neck and popped him a pill, shook some sevin on him and set him back down. Only place they could keep him and have him stay out of trouble. A few weeks later the pups were weaned and were sitting around Indys feet watching him eat cereal out of a jethrow bowl. Indy figured they had shared with him so he got down and they all ate cereal. Indy developed some bad habits but a keen switch broke him from chasing cars, laying in the yard licking himself, and sniffing the friends and neighbors when they came to visit. His mom just said her son had gone to the dogs. His grandma showed me a baby picture of him and said he was a pretty baby but she couldn't figure out what happened to him. I knew. His skin turned pasty white and sunlight hurt his eyes. He had turned nocturnal, a bona fide coonhunter.
More to come. I'll finish later.
