Incidentally, he gives me no spending money; I have to buy my own clothes, fortunately, I have a small income. "I have raised five wonderful children (all are married) and I am proud of them.

The first was a realisation that we must have another dog -- watch dog. The next problem was the kind, and where to get it. We thought we had solved it by making arrangements to adopt a year-old collie whoae owners had sola their farm. and were moving to town But it didn't work. The dog would not make :friends at all and shier, he had never been tied up nor even had a collar on, it was hard to know how to handle him, or how to keep him from •running away before he got aeseutomed to us. So we had to let the young lad come and -take him home again. We were sorry because he was a !eyelet dog — if we could have trusted him. Pre- vious to this, Dee- -and Art lied taken Honey to Toronto, think- ing we could handle one dog better than two. So now we haven't a dog at all, The breed I have always wanted if we had to get another dog was a Welsh Corgi—but how or where to gat one is the question. Corgis are not too common in Canada. We could get a German Shepherd quite easily but we are a little afraid of not being able to train it neo- perly. So here we are sitting nn the fence, undecided .whethe- to get a puppy, a half-grown dog, Corgi, a collie or a German shepherd. In the meantime Honey has settled down quite happily in Toronto, much to Davey's de- light. Dave loves to put both arms around. Honey and give her a bear -hug, which Honey graciously permits. And then they play ball together. .. Honey always did love to play ball. But that ball is hers and she won't let Dave have it. So, while resting between capers, Honey UCS with it between her front paws. But Dave is just as cute; watches his opportunity and when Roney is half asleep he creeps up and snatches the ball away When Daughter goes shopping she has Dave with his harness in one hand and Honey on a leash in the other. I imagine she has quite a time. Last night Bob and Joy were in Toronto and Honev did her hula-hula Wiggle the minute she saw Bob. Dee thinks she will probably go crazy the first time I show up. But I don't know ... Honey is happy with anyone who will make a fuss of her. And, in spite of the fact that she is in a city home, I imagine. wilh Davey's Honey gets more exercise GR -R -R — "Tipper:' figures he ought to have special equip- ment if he's going to be a pro- fessional hound -dog. That ex- plains the comic teeth cluttering his mouth. The nine -month-old beagle will do his hounding around West Sand Lake. ISSUE 17 — 1955 116W u.iwSti i did MA lilt.? farm All she did her was eat and sleep—she would not stay out- side by herself. Incidentally her absence saves me time. Long- haired dogs make a lot of work. Last week we had a variety of experiences. While it was still cold we ordered an extra ton of coal—to be delivered early, before the frost was out of the ground. The coal was sent up hi a one -truck. Instead of staying on high ground the driver took a wide turn in the field, dropped into a dead -fur- row and got hopelessly mired. He sent for a big truck to pull him out. The big truck got stuck. Then along came the - manager to supervise the pro- ceedings. He left his car in the lane. Partner came along with gravel, ashes, boards and an extra logging chain. At long last they were extricated bu to get out of the field they had to come over a low spot—they got stuck again. This time a tow - truck was sent for. About two hours from the time the pickup came in, the car and the three trucks went rolling down the lane. Incidentally the coal was unloaded in the field and car- ried in canvas bags to the cel- lar tvindow. As for the 1'11 is itt the fields , . they are beyond description. The next excitement was the de -horning of three heifers. Thinking my services would not be needed I went to Guelph that day. But one heifer hemor- rhaged and required veterinary first aid. Partner wished 1 had been here tecause 1 knew bet- ter than he how to handle the party -line telephone. And be.. lieve- me, one does need a little experience in dealing with a party -line. We have also hadl visitors here for nearly a week, but, being an exetarm couple they take farm emergencies is their stride, and help out when possible. Warm weather is with us yet and the bird population is in- creasing. Three blue herons were down at the creek today; a lone killdeer flew over yes- terday and a perky little robin is making himself quite at home, Speaking of robins, a correspon- dent sent me this, original little poem: "No Housing Problem" 'He builds without priority At home beyond the strife Of C.I.O. authority • For himself and wife.
