Gravely burned from a barn fire and heartbroken over the disappearance of his one true love, a retired football quarterback-cum-pig baron dies encircled by three competitors, each staking
their own separate claims to his fortune: an opium-addicted prostitute for his fertile Oklahoma acreage, a black market organ broker for his mysterious ‘Black Book’, and his own livestock
auctioneer for something even less apparent.

FOR ADOPTION OR FOSTER HOME
Kimmy is a loving, playful, and beautiful 3-year-old spayed dog who always wants to be the center of attention. She is intelligent, trainable, and very loyal. She was rescued from a kill shelter a few months ago by SE resident Wendy with the intention of finding a permanent home soon afterwards, as she does not have the resources to care for her for very long, and her current environment is not suitable forher, either. If you have room in your life for a doggie, and want to help out both canine and her human caretaker, contact her right away at
wendy@wetlands-preserve.org. Thanks!
