    Jack, the brindle bulldog, went under the wagon

    Jack stayed with the cat. He preferred the cat to his human family. Carrie was not born yet.

    We’re all safe, thanks to a good tight wagon-box well fastened to the running-gear.

    Unlikely. Apparently the wagon type Laura describe was way more than they could afford. Everything was probably wet…

    No telling how long he kept swimming,” Pa said. “Nor how far he was carried downstream before he landed.” And when at last he reached them

    Because you were an asshole and didn’t allow him into the wagon…

    skin while Pa’s keen knife ripped it off the rabbit meat. “I’ll salt this skin and peg it out on the house wall to dry,” he said. “It will make a warm fur cap for some little girl to wear next winter.”

    💔😭😭😭

    Her chest felt all hot inside, and she wished with all her might that Mary wouldn’t always be such a good little girl. But she couldn’t let Mary be better than she was

    Mary is really f*cking annoying!

    because the heat would be too hard on Pet and Patty. They must pull the wagon twenty miles a day, to get to town in two days. And he did not want to be away from home any longer than he had to

    That’s rubbish. The Ingalls would abuse their animals when it suited their purpose…

    After that, Jack was always chained. He was chained to the house in the daytime, and at night he was chained to the stable door, because horse-thieves were in the country now. They had stolen Mr. Edwards’ horses.

    They weren’t good to Jack…

    Every day Pa went hunting and trapping.

    Christ! How many innocent animals did colonizers kill??!!

  • fatimahj07has quotedlast year
    Yes,” said Pa. “And kill her and eat her, too. You and Mary must stay in the house till I shoot that panther. As soon as daylight comes I will take my gun and go after him.”

    Perhaps they should have stopped encroaching into areas not theirs… like a plague
