The youngest, a little girl, would sleep in a portable crib in the yard while I worked.<BR/><BR/>The coyotes were so thick that at one point they circled and were about to attack a 6'2 man. A little springer went after them and ran them off. A few days later, I heard them at dusk between the garden and the house. I was still at the garden....<BR/>So the next day we went to get the biggest dog known to (wo)mankind. We drove up to the Buffalo animal shelter and found our dog. The springer could run under him without touching his belly. He was supposedly Great Dane and Black Lab. Maybe throw in a little Rottweiler for good looks. He had a huge underbite and a floppy face. We loved him. He was funny and sweet and the kids rode him bareback. We watched the coyotes criss cross the neighbors' fields, but Mike and Molly did their job. He was a great dog. I cried the day we had to say goodbye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11838465.post-1156718822685507842006-08-27T16:47:00.000-06:002006-08-27T16:47:00.000-06:008/27/06 SundayHello, Mary. I stumbled upon your"P...8/27/06 Sunday<BR/>Hello, Mary. I stumbled upon your<BR/>"Prairie Mary" site while looking<BR/>for information on Adolof Hungry<BR/>Wolf and his work. I just "happened" to find a worn out<BR/>paperback of his, 34 years old,<BR/>in the recreation room of the <BR/>apartment house where I live ---<BR/>the pages are all falling out <BR/>and held in by variouis clips and<BR/>prayer! Ha, ha. Fascinating!<BR/>And since I am a poet and have<BR/>heritage with, and love for the<BR/>native peoples, I wanted to know<BR/>about this "author." There was<BR/>nothing about him within the book.<BR/> I love your web site! I have<BR/>lived in Montana for 37 years,<BR/>and am 64 years old. I would<BR/>like to know more about you,<BR/>your work, and Adolf and his<BR/>work. Another thing is that I<BR/>have in my possession the <BR/>book by Beverly Hungry Wolf,<BR/>"The Ways of Our Grandmothers."<BR/>I took several courses on the<BR/>native peoples at the University<BR/>of Montana, and that book was<BR/>required reading in a course about<BR/>native women given by a professor<BR/>named Roger Dunsmore. There is<BR/>much more about all this. <BR/>I'd like to<BR/>communicate with you if you would<BR/>like to communicate with me.<BR/>Thank you for your beautiful work,<BR/>Marjorie Lowe Allen Garner<BR/>thetreeswelove@yahoo.com<BR/>Butte, MontanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11838465.post-1156302223778363652006-08-22T21:03:00.000-06:002006-08-22T21:03:00.000-06:00Mary, these are wonderful (if somewhat sad and bit...Mary, these are wonderful (if somewhat sad and bittersweet) stories!
