She's the only one for me."The barmans eyes widen."You probably shouldn't have said that." he says."Whatever," you sneer, and head off to the bathroom....You finish your business, wash your hands and go to leave.. but the door back to the bar isn't there any more."What the hell?"You hear a musical laugh behind you and turn to see Maebh sitting casually on the high windowsill, dressed in her weird, old fashioned looking clothing, boots, a long skirt, some sort of armless leather top that shows off. A matter? Geesh! Did he think she was stupid? But it was an opportunity to get out for a few hours. Jamey was out with Dean anyway, and no telling what time they would get back.

Inside the barn, he set the water to running, carrying hot water from the trailer. While he waited for it to warm, he measured out dog food into the cement mixer, then went to the refrigerator, got several pounds of still-frozen meat scraps, and began to chop them up with an axe. Chopped up, these went into the mixer, too, along with the warm water; mixing the food with water ensured that the dogs got enough water into their systems, always a problem in cold weather.The dogs were always happy.
