Dog Tales

Notes: COOKIE was collected from Bobby Fields of Hyden, Kentucky. This is a true story.   The use of the word trotline is available on Wikipedia. Some dictionaries suggest a French origin. Could there have been a connection with French trappers in pioneer times? Or is trotline related to a trot-rope used to exercise horses in which each end of the line is tied to a tree and the bridle is attached to a ring? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-martin-ramsay5/support
