';MI 7'44' Walo971:ih;14-7 That sentence .brought Many memories of her .early ,ebildh99d. at: "The .Hut" to lotiyy:. Whisk, short for Whiskey was a well-bred grey hound, astray in the village, who frequented the local bars of that .era in the hope of being given some whiskey, It was cheap in those clays and tinderstariding. the .dog's thirst, he was usually treated, In short, in today's parlance Whiskey was .An Alcoholic, Whether be had been given a bit of limier to add Speed to his performanee in greyhound races and .acquired. the taste, or treated by sore men in the light of amusement, is not .known, ..Since his name was not known he was galled "Whiskey" after his favorite beverage. Before his marriage, Dr. Woods boarded at The River Hotel. Being Irish he was fond of'goed dogs as well as horses, and so he adopted Whiskey and took him .te."The Whiskey, of affable temperarnent was also a merry thief. Lu cy has heard tales of her father having to pay for a turkey which he snitched from Lottie Martin's store on Main Street Opposite the library),. The building burned down .35 years ago, And, Mrs, F. A. Edwards told Lucy of him getting off with a .whole boiled ham which she had set out in the back kitchea,te cool..(The Lance store and house on Main Street). That must have been before he came under Dr. Woods' guardianship or he would have been 'billed for it. Whiskey was well-ensconced at "The Hut" when Mrs. Woods came as a bride and was a household pet even when Lucy was small. But when Jean arrived the little cottage was a bit too crowded and so Whiskey was consigned to sleep in the barn, much to Mrs. Woods' relief as she didn't consider, it healthy to have him .around the babies too much. Lucy recalls him coming into the little kitchen in the summer.te be fed and how he rattled the dish around the floor getting every last morsel of food, • One day. when the snow was deep, father was away from Mine and mother had to go to the barn to feed and water the horses and feed Whiskey and the chickens. ,Mother never went out and left her infants alone in the honSe. Lucy was over four years old and. Jean about .16 months. So .She dressed them warmly and wrapped Jean up in blankets in the little sleigh designed for babies of those days. When she opened the barn door Whiskey bounced out and upset the little sleigh in his joy at seeing the children. Mother was powerless to prevent him shoWing his ,love with a caress via the. tongue. Lucy was quite concerned about Jean, but fortunately she wasn't hurt, nor evenfrighterted. Whiskey had a run while motherwas busy in the barn and then he was called back and shut in with the horses again. - Whiskey had a great affection for horses but our Dick, a great poWerful gray, standing 16 hands, raised by the Campbell brothers on the Bronson Line, liked neither women, children nor dogs. Incidentally he was never seen laying down and occupied a box stall in the barn. One morning after her husband had been out all night on bad roads, Mrs. Woods thought she'd let him rest and went out to feed the horses. Dick's head was not hanging over the door so she peeked over and caught him down. "Dick, you lazy old scoundrel!" she ejaculated. He was so angry that before she could get back he had jumped up and left his teeth marks in her forehead permanently. • Poor Whiskey got too close too, and received a kick in the ribs one day. Dr. Woods did all he could for the dog but he died of pneumonia much to his master's sorrow. Mrs. Woods confessed later that -with all her good feeding, she never could put any flesh on, Whiskey and so she was suspicious that he might have tuberculosis. She was secretly relieved that any possible infection in that respect was removed from her children.
