It's me again, Hank the Cowdog. It was your normal, average, run-of-the-mill spring afternoon on the ranch-until Drover brought the news that Sally May's baby was being attacked by a giant rattlesnake. And suddenly is became un-normal, un-average, and un-run-of-the-mill. I was up by the chicken house, as I recall, taking tesimony from J. T. Cluck, the head rooster. He had a speech inpedamun-whatever you call it when a guy whistles all his S's. Speech unpedamin. He stared at me and blinked his eyes. He rolled his right wing around in its socket.

I took careful note of the movement, knowing that it might turn out to be an important clue. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Then the eyes popped open. I looked to the right and saw them. I memorized their conformation. Actually, they looked like every other young rooster I'd ever seen: two wings, two legs, two feet, a lot of feathers, and a stupid expression. I was having a little trouble tying this all together. Again, he looked around to see if anyone was listening, then leaned forward.

Long story short On April 14, at approximately 5:32 Central Standard Time, Hank the Cowdog lost consciousness, went into convulsions, and slipped into a deep coma. Death followed shorty. The author and illustration biography said "John R. Erickson began writing stories in 1967 while working full time as a cowboy, farmhand, and ranch manager in Texas and Oklahoma-where two of the dogs were Hank and his sidekick Drover. Hank the Cowdog made his debut a long time ago in the pages of The Cattleman, a magazine about cattle for adults. Soon after, Erickson began receiving "Dear Hank" letters and realized that many of his eager fans were children. The Hank the Cowdog series won Erickson a Publishers Weekly "Listen Up" Award for Best Humor in Audio. He also received an Audie from the Audio Publishers Association for Outstanding Children's Series. The author of more than thirty-five books, Erickson lives with his wife, Kris, and their three children on a ranch near his boyhood home of Perryton, Texas. Gerald L. Holmes met John Erickson after moving to Perryton, Texas, a long time ago...and that's when Hank and his pals came to life for the first time in pictures. Mr. Holmes has illustrated numerous cartoons and textbooks in addition to the Hank the Cowdog series." In book 5 in 1989. To go to the website is http://www.hankthecowdog.com.

It's me again, Hank the Cowdog. On December 19, we got a snow. On December 20, it snowed again. On December 21 the overflow of the septic tank froze up, making it impossible for me to bathe. By December 22 we had four inches of snow on the ground and fellers, it was cold. It was that morning, at approximately 9:00 o'clock, that I awoke from a deep sleep and noticed something very peculiar. My bed was shaking. My bed consisted of two old gunnysacks and under normal conditions it didn't shake.

I opened one eye, perked one ear, and I sniffed the air. In the security business we call this a preliminary scan. In other words, at that point I wasn't using all my sensory equipment. There's no sense in squandering your gifts, no matter how many you have. Well, I sniffed and I look and I listened. I smelled diesel fuel but I always smelled diesel in my bedroom because the tank on the north side leaked and the cowboys on our outfit were too lazy to fix it. Now, if they'd had a fuel leak in THEIR bedrooms, they would have fixed it pronto, but this was only Hank's bedroom so nobody was worried about it. Anyway, I sniffed and I look and I listened.

Long story short it wasn't nothing. The author and illustration biography said "John R.

It's me again, Hank the Cowdog. One morning around ten o'clock Dover brought me some incredible news. He said the world was coming to an end. I had gotten in from work around daylight, washed up in the septic tank, and hit my gunnysack just as the sun peeked over that big cottonwood tree down by the creek. It had been a slow night but still I was bushed. Must have been the accumulation of long nights. This security work begins to wear on a guy after a while. I had given Drover the night off, so by the time I came dragging in he was all fresh and ready to go exploring or some such foolishness.

He asked if I wanted to go with him. They were coming out of my bed. Derned gunnysack was getting a little ripe and needed changing. You'd think the cowboys would notice something like that and give me a fresh cake sack every six months or so, but they can sell'em back to the Co-op for a nickel apiece, see, and that sort of puts a price on my services. You never really know these ranch folks until there's a nickel involved. Give the Head of Ranch Security a five-cent bed every six months? No siree, not with cattle prices the way they are. That new gunnysack just might take the ranch down into bankruptcy.

Long story short it wasn't going to end. The author and illustration biography said "John R.

It's me again, Hank the Cowdog. As I recall, it was the 14th of May when the silver monster bird swooped down on the ranch and threatened us with death and destruction. Or was it May 15th? Could have been the 16th. Anyway...Sliver monster birds are huge creatures with a body that's long and skinny, resembles the body of a snake, which makes me think they might be a cross-breed between a bird and a reptile. The head sort of confirms that, because it has a sharp noes and two wicked eyes. In other words, it ain't your usual bird head. Oh yes, did I mention that they don't have a beak?

No beak whatsoever. That's a pretty important clue right there. It ain't natural. Show me a bird without a beak and I've got some questions to ask him. Another thing about the silver monster birds is that they have shinny feathers-not your usual dull brown or glossy black, but bright, shiny silver feathers. And a lot of the monster birds will have a white marking on the side which resembles a star. They have big drooping wings with several things growing out of the underside. I call them "things" because I don't have a technical term for them yet.

Long story short he got whooped. The author and illustration biography said "John R.

Summary of Great Communicator The Story of Ronald Reagan

The pages are p. 1-128 it have ch. 1-12. I like this good book and it is by Jeff C. Young. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

Ronald Wilson Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois, on February 6, 1911. With a population of only 849 people, Tampico did not have a doctor, so Ronald's mother went through labor in the family's apartment above the general store Ronald's father managed. The midwife informed Ronald's mother her baby was breach and would be born feet forward. This was a dangerous situation. Fortunately, a physician who had been stranded in Tampico by a snowstorm the day before was able to come over and deliver the ten-pound baby. It was Ronald's large size that reminded his father of a fat and prosperous Dutchman, and the nickname Dutch stuck from birth. His father, John Edward Reagan, was a handsome, athletic man most people knew as Jack. He worked in retail sales as a shoe salesman and store clerk.

He was a good-hearted and intelligent man who struggled his entire life with an alcohol problem. He was not abusive to his family, but there were frequent job and address changes. Between the ages of six and ten, Ronald attended a different school every year. Reagan's mother, Nelle Wilson, met Jack while shopping. They were married in 1904. Their first son, John Neil, was born in 1909. Jack was Catholic and insisted that Neil be baptized in the same faith.

Long story short Nelle was an active member of the Disciples of Christ church. The author does not have a biography about him. To go to the website is http://www.ronaldreagan.com.

It's me again, Hank the Cowdog, I just got some terrible news. There's been a murder on the ranch. I know I shouldn't blame myself. I mean, a dog is only a dog. He can't be everywhere at once. When I took this job as Head of Ranch Security, I knew that I was only flesh and blood, four legs, a tail, a couple of ears, a pretty nice kind of nose that the women really go for, two bushels of hair and another half bushel of Mexican sandburs. You add that all up and you don't get Superman, just me, good old easygoing Hank who works hard, tries to do this job, and gets very little cooperation from anyone else around here. I'm not complaining.

I knew this wouldn't be an easy job. It took a special kind of dog-strong, fearless, dedicated, and above all, smart. Obviously Drover didn't fit. The job fell on my shoulders. It was my destiny. I couldn't escape the broom of history that swept through...anyway, I took the job. Head of Ranch Security. Glee, I was proud of that title.

Long story short he left and came back. The author biography said "John R.
