Our super dog .... . a small pup by
the name of Skates has had a reputa-
PHIL OS1FER OF
By
tion for a long time of being almost
useless. This has been remedied to
LAZY MEADOWS some extent in the last few days.
Skates was picked up by the man
who runs the grist mill on a cold win-
Harry J. Boyle ter's night. He was whimpering and
pouting around the door. He came in
and made himself at home . . . right
away. The grist mill operator has two
dogs and he didn't know what to do
The pup was sort of en-W. He had
wobbly legs and droopy cars and big
eyes that looked almost like those own-
ed by a lonesome human. Mrs. Phil
-wasn't too happy at first but I found
her that night smuggling a saucer, of
milk out for the waif,
The question came up as to what the
pup was to be called, Higgins was
over the next day and took a look at
the pure and said, "He looks as poor as
skates," It was one of those silly
things that seem to stick and the first
thing we knew the pup was being call,
ed Skates all the time.
Poor Skates didn't have much sense
about anything. He got in the way of
the horses„ , and the cats all took a
delight in beating him .up . . .and he
was even afraid of the little pigs, If
the cows were out being watered in
the barnyard , --then Skates woad
manage somehow to get between them
and the stable door. When you went
into the milk house Skates would get
under your feet and cause you to trip
and cuss him a bit,
Along came the fine Spring weather
of the last few days and Skates seem-
ed to undergo a complete change, He
became more sedate and at last started
into doing the things we told him,
When I told him to round up the calv-
es and drive them back into the stable
. . he did a beautiful job of heeling,.
He had discovered that there's far
more sense in chasing animals from
behind than there is_ in getting almost
trampled to death.
It may be the Spring 'sunshine .
out whatever it is . Skates has final-
ly become an accepted member of the
household at Lazy Meadows.
