Tell about other pets you had.
My other small best friend pet was Smokey the cat. She had many kittens but only one made my memory and that was Flame. Both of them were good at catching mice and proved to be very good cats to have on a farm. Smokey loved to have you pet her and would purr very loudly as you did. I know of a lot of people who either love dogs and hate cats or love cats and hate dogs but because of my two lifelong pets I love them both. I can’t leave the subject of pets however without mentioning the large pets. I made reference to them in the story of Pee Wee and that is our horses Blue and Beauty. We did not have them at the same time but one after the other. They were both small horses that I could easily swing up onto their backs and that was the way I usually rode them. I would put a saddle on them if I had time to go for an extended ride but it was usually to ride down to the pasture to bring the cows in for milking. Both times I was thrown from them however was when I was riding bareback. I had some very wonderful animal friends while I was growing up and I do love them all.
