Don Jose, May 2003 For a long time Don Jose was the only animal left on my mother's farm (aside from some dogs, cats, geese, and chickens). He got really bored and lonely in the fence alone so he used to get out a lot and escape down to some farmer's bean field. The farmer used to come around with his shot gun regularly. He swore he'd shoot Jose one of these days. Animal control kept coming, too but no one could seem to catch him. They even tried tranquilizing him but he escaped. ©1997-2007Jessamyn Lovell
