Ol Blue couldn't give up and he chased the coon well after the other dogs gave up. He got lost and stayed in the wild for days on end surviving on rabbits and mice and sleeping in the tall grass. Unfortunately ol Blue got in a tick bed and became covered in hundreds of tickets that just kept sapping his strength. Realizing he had to find help or perish he found his way to:
... a cattle ranch. The rancher took ol blue in and fed him some country fried steak and mashed potatoes. The rancher then took ol Blue out to the cow pen where he got some permethrin and mixed it with water and poured this over his tick plagued body and the ticks began to die and fall off his body. Ol Blue, liked this setup so much he forgot the coons and became a heck of a healer.
... an Organic Farm. Here the farmer took ol blue in and began picking each tick off his body and putting them in the compost pile. After a few days of this treatment old blue as sore as he could be but he was tick free and good to go - which he did - and finally found his way home and is still running coons.
... some government land. Here the biologist saw blues condition and called in an entomolgist from Washington to examine the ticks to be sure they were not on the endangered species list. The entomologist was right out of school and wasn't exactly sure what subspecies the tick belonged to and would have to return samples to Washington to properly id the tick. However, it happened to be Martin Luther King's Birthday and the entomologist had scheduled to take a week off. However, being collard educated he knew he couldn't just leave Blue in this weakened condition so he called in a government veterinarian who began giving Blue blood transfusions to help him regain his strength. Unfotunately, PETA learned of the "plight of the ticks" and began demonstrating against the governments plans for disrupting the "tick's ecosystem" and filed an injunction to stop any future treatments of Blue until proper studies could be performed to insure the habitat was not disturbed. Blue still lays here today, strapped down - for his own safety - while the lawyers debate the proper action to take.
