tools on the farm

[Woodcock survey]

Was in charge of a 40 acre farm/ estate the town bought for a park. A neighbors dog named Woody would show himself to the chuck who would dive down his hole. He would sneak to the side of the opposite of where the chuck saw him and lay with his jaws a few inchs from the hole. The chuck would always come up looking where he last saw the dog and with one lunge and a shake that was the end.
The family he belonged to had 13 kids and he guarded the little ones when they came to the playground we put in. No one went near those kids that he put himself between them and the kids. The oldest worked for me one summer and i was given the ok to approach the kids.
As time went on and the kids started school i only saw him when i had a chuck move in.
