More: Badger was given to me by my dad. The lady he belonged to couldn’t keep him any longer because he killed her chickens. Badger loved to ride in any vehicle, just as long as he got to go. He was an awesome protector. He would keep the coyotes at bay during the middle of the night until we could get our gun. He could spot a snake in an instant and set the alarm. You knew it was a snake by the tone of his bark. Years went by and Badger grew old. Dad readopted him and he and mom fell in love w him. His arthritis became so bad he couldn’t get in the ATV. He would have to be lifted carefully up into the seat so he could see where they were going. As time grew close to the end he was allowed to come in the house when it was cold. He would stand at the door waiting to be brushed off before entering then lay by their chairs quietly. Badger went to Dog Heaven recently. He touched many hearts, especially mine. RIP Old Man ❤️
