sisabetOMG! Do you think the reason that Jonathan Kent hates dogs so much is because of something that Hiram did? Do you think that maybe when Jonathan was a boy he had a dog - a husky/shepherd mix and he called that dog Reba and one day Hiram came in all upset and told Jonathan that Reba had killed a calf and they were gonna have to put her down and then Hiram grabbed his shotgun off the wall and Jonathan just sat there and watched him walk out of the house and he was kinda frozen there on the floor.
And then Jonathan went outside cause he knew what the calf meant to his father and he knew what that calf meant to the farm and he knew what the farm meant to his family and he knew what it meant if Reba had taken to killing calves and he knew what it meant that Reba was his responsibility and was his and so he stopped his father and took the shotgun out of his hands and then he did what he had to do.
And he never would own another dog after that.
Later Hiram might have found out that it wasn't Reba that killed that calf - it was a marauder. If he'd paid more attention to the corpse, he'd have noticed the slaughter was done with a knife, but he just had to jump to conclusions and he'd noticed Reba out running near the cattle earlier. He'd warned Jonathan about what was to happen if he ever saw her chasing the cattle. He'd warned him.
And Hiram would always feel bad about this.
OH! Oh Bo! I forgive you! You don't have to love another dog, I understand.

Not that this is loosely based on a true story, or anything. I'm just sitting here trying to figure out what Bo has against dogs, cause it just ain't natural for a farmer to not have a dog.
