Donna asked me about this the other day and it doesn’t seem to be going away
First, let’s establish a couple of things: I am from Way Out West, from Eureka! California to Eureka! Montana; grew up in a logging, lumber and ranching town and my first job was on a cattle ranch, fifteen years old. Second: South Dakota is not way out west. It’s barely Montana; it’s the mid-west, the middle of nowhere
I’m not sure that I’d call it a “value” and I’m sure they probably do the same in the swamplands, but I’ve had to put a couple dogs down. An old friend, a Good Dog; an aggressive dog, and one that got into the chickens. It’s one of those things that happens, not something you brag about, write about in a book
I’ll tell you what’s not a “Western Value” ~ rushing a book to print for the sole purpose of it being a convention perk, jotting down whatever random memory comes to mind and giving it to a ghost-writer to fill out the bullshit details
What’s not a western value is not taking the time to properly train and care for working dogs and then just randomly shooting one because you didn’t like the way it turned out; and then because you’ve already got a gun in your hand and you’re on a rampage shoot the goat because don’t like it either. In front of kids
We used to discourage people like that from having guns, dogs, and children
I don’t know if it answers: what that bimbo’s selling ain’t Western Value
