Back then, there weren't much of any strict laws, and the Bone Hill I mentioned, yeah, over the previous two decades the occasional dead horse or cow would be hauled up there, just to rot, no burial or anything. They basically let the vultures and worms do the work from there..

Bone Hill was well away from anyone's home, including ours, so nobody in the neighborhood seemed to care. It was just 'normal' life for me back then at times. Today, I wouldn't have a damn clue what to do with a dead horse, I guess call animal control for advice..?

I haven't lived there in like 30 years, now I stay in an apartment and we're lucky just to be able to have adopted Brownie.

He's a really good boy, especially to be an adopted stray that someone dropped off at our city park last March or April or so. He's extremely well behaved, and perfectly house trained!

I wish I could ask Brownie what his history is, what his original name was, etc...

Regardless, we're glad to have him with us, sad that someone dumped him off. He's got a forever home here!
