- Story about Dogs
Paddy Creamer often told the following story -
He himself was very fond of an Irish Terrier and seldom he was without one.
When he was quite a young man, about sixty years ago, he had a very fine Irish Terrier and a neighbour of his had one too equally as good. Every time the dogs met they enjoyed a good fight.
One evening they fought for a considerable time and Paddy did all in his power to separate them. When every effort of his failed, he dragged them into an out house left them to fight the fight out, and shut the door on them.
In the morning he opened the door, peeped carefully in; but to his consternation he saw only the two tails.
