Mrs. Waters's Worst Nightmare

One summer on a farm somewhere in Texas was a horse that wasn't taken care of properly. This horse was named Salty. He has had that name since birth because right before he was born his mom gobbled down a ton of salt cubes. This seemed iconic enough for this situation so he felt like his name had meaning. The owner of the Salty was Ol' Man Jenkins. Jenkins was a mean, old cowboy that uses no electricity. Jenkins had progressively gotten busier each day. A drought was on his hands and he had to take care of his cattle. Which meant he had less and less time to take care of Salty. Over time Salty had developed ticks and fleas all over his body. Jenkins kept forgetting to apply his medicine from the veterinarian to him. Salty's situation finally got bad enough where Salty had to attempt desperate measures for pleasure. All Salty did, day and night was rub his butt against the fence post. One day Jenkins noticed that he didn't have the time to take care of Salty. So he thought it was best to let him go. He sold him to the Waters because they were interested in a horse for their daughter. The Waters took great care of Salty for a long time. It had seemed that his life kept extending due to the various foods he kept eating. The older Mr. Waters got he spent more time with the horses. Mrs. Waters finally noticed it was going on and got really jealous. For the rest of each of their lives the competed for attention from Mr. Waters. Salty usually one because of his famous technique of rubbing his butt on the fence.
