Come see what's bubbling!
It had been a week in coming and just about
everybody knew there was trouble brewing in Tombstone. Yes sir-ree.
See, there was these two young cowboys, Quickdraw and Sureshot, who just
couldn’t get along for love nor marbles. But they’d agreed on one thing, by
golly, and that was to have a showdown right in front of Big Nose Kate’s on the
last night of the month of October – which just so happened to be Halloween.
One
thing about Ole Blue, he speaks his mind, or Dustin’s, that is. For the past
six years Dustin and Ole Blue have talked over a lot of subjects. Dustin feels
like he can trust his pet rat. He has often told Ole Blue that everyone needs
someone whom he can confide in.
Depression
is a visitor who comes for breakfast and stays through dinner. Often this
unwanted guest would visit Dustin. Like a black cloud over a long awaited
picnic, depression would come and pester Dustin. Knowing that he had one true
friend, Dustin would turn to Ole Blue for comfort.
I was dismayed when I arrived at Bella’s stall and
she stood alone. But I could sense that Blue was nearby or at least, had been. I turned and nearly screamed to find Blue
standing behind me! How did he keep doing that?
“Hi.” I managed to squeak “I - I came to help. If
you want, that is…” my voice trailed off.
Blue merely nodded and handed me a brush as his
gazed lingered on my face long enough to make me blush. It was my first encounter with Bella since
that fateful night and when he saw my hesitation, Blue gave a nod of
encouragement and we brushed in silence for a while.
