The Litter of the Law
“Murphy Mystery Pulling his veterinary truck up to the house that Sunday evening, Fair opened the truck’s door, then got out and wearily leaned against it.
Tucker, hearing the motor, dashed out the house’s animal door to greet him. “Hi, Pop. I missed you. I’m glad you’re home.”

“You’re covered in blood and you’re sad and tired. Can I help?” Tucker implored him with her soft brown eyes.
Fair stroked the smooth head once more before standing. Ta...king a deep breath, he walked to the house.
In the kitchen, Harry heard his footfall but didn’t look up as she stuffed a Cornish hen. “First frost tonight, I think.”
“Feels like it.”
She turned and took in his bloodied, bedraggled appearance. “Oh, no! Honey, is the horse all right?”
He sank into a kitchen chair. “Couldn’t save her. She’d nicked her aorta. By the time Paul Diaz found her out in the pasture, she’d already lost so much blood. What a beautiful filly.”MoreLess
