Jack Willoek• had pigeons when he was a: toy on VancouVer
Island, and So as soon as they acquired the R. T. Orr family
cottage (peg spent summers here with her parents frorn the
time she was a small child) he made arrangenialitS to bring ug
fancy pigeons and Dutch rabbits from breeders for, each summer,
The Tumblers' and Rollers were filially supplanted by rock
pigeons when the fancy birds either deserted the dovecot or
succumbed to predators.
And the generg interest in rabbits waned, tool
Peg had slwnys had a dog •and so Jack presented her with
a Welsh Corgi .- "Mrs. Antheny Armstrong Jones"• after they
moved back from Brazil.
' • She managed to dart out into the traffic when they lived 1'
'Stratford, and, as you've guessed, was killed, , •
Eight years ago "Mr. Armstrong Jones",!'Jonesie" for' short,
joined the household. And he, too, got out and was hit by a car in
Bayfield„- but, fortunately, With a nurse and other members of
the family to care fox him and under treatment by a Veterinary
Purgeon, he recovered.
Now "Jonesie" is a very 'wise little doggie,' Well-knOwn in
Bayfield. Peg has only to say to hinl.th'rtironto: "We aregoing
tO see Lucy" and he bedomes quite excited about coming to
Ilayfield. And he has to come across the read first thing to
visit Lucy and Carl. • •
If Lucy is talking to. Peg or Jack and doesn't notice him,
he nuzzles her, then goes to Carl to be petted, and then to lap
a bit of stale water out of the 'crock on the floor` for humidity.
And this year he sneaks out past .Sandi the cat in'the big chair,
to see if there are any, .scraps left on his plate in the kitchen.
Last August When Peg was in Vancouver, he came to "The
Hut" repeatedly to look for her. ' • •, •
"Jonesie" knows right well that he is not supposed to go
off his own property alone. Nevertheless, he skips off on his
own sometimes. •
Carl saw him up at the post office one day. He called him but
"Jonesie" turned a deaf, ear and started Olin. Main. Streetic
Carl drove home and told Douglas that the dog might he down
by "Shangri-La," but he came back saying that he couldn't
see him at all. And while Carl, Peg and Douglas were standing
there talking, who should appear from the cedars at the bottom'
of their lot, looking very innocent, but "Jonesie".
He knew he'd be scolded for running away, so he went down the
hill at the end of Main Street and came home via River.Road.
Lucy watched a neighbour chasing him home early one inorn•
ing last summer. "Jonesie" was trotting along about ten feet
ahead of her, growling 'his wrath at being caught away. from
hbme. '
Ainslie had a hamster when she was small but ingot away
from her. Then she had' a long-haired guinea pig "Mopsey"
which she grew tired of brushing. "Mopsey" went to a young
friend in Stratford. , •
• Cathie acquired a gray, part Persian cat with a few white
hairs on his chest which she' appropriately named "Dribbles".
Two year's ago Douglas chose a guinea pig whiCh he named
"Guinness". She won second prize at the Royal Winter Fair
in 1967. Now she has a companion "Portia" - Douglas is studying

A gift o! apainting, done b' Mrs. William
Harris 'ili'eserittid'''to`"Mrs-Mabel Middleton,
last Wednesday in appreciation of her work
as art instructor at a night course at Central
Shakespeare at schOol. •
AbOnt a year ago "Harvey" was added to the family circle. .,.
He, was named after, the play which ran for some time in New
York.
He had been a smell white rabbitwithpink eyes when purchased
from a pet shop for a little girl at Easter.
And as so often happens, the little girl grew tired of the
Huron Secondary School. The gift was presented,. . • ,rabbit, ,now,', grown to maturity, so he was', given.,to neighbours
by Kelvin Jervis, Clinton, at a year eiridliartk•r,,a, ,;(5f4the'WillookPi -Theybitdritif-rdoriffor"liariey";,:arid theVillocks
and art 'display by 30 of the art students. had a garden in which to build a hutch so the big friendly rabbit
found a good Koine.
"Harvey" is completely "housebroken" and when brought
into the house from his pen, he jumps up beside people on the
chesterfield and 'snuggles up to them. He skips about the house,
upstairs and down and has fun. He craves affection.
Last summer Peg just 'saved him in time.. A. big dog went
behind the hedge, knocked the top off Harvey's box, and the poor
rabbit was 'almost dead from fright under the steps;She drove
off the. intruder and picked "Harvey" up toconsole him. He 'hadn't
been injured. . . • '
'Had "Jonesie" been there, he would have defended Harvey,
but "Jonesie" was 'off on one of his little -peccadilloes.
Harold Bell looked after "Harvey" for a Couple of dayP last
summer. He observed a white rabbit hopping around some
neighbours who had just arrived at their cottage. He went and.
looked 'in "Harvey's" pen and found it empty. Quite obviously
Harvey was either hunting for his owners or trying to make more
friends, so Harold returned him to his hutch. •
'And how do they travel back and forth to Toronto? "Jonesie"
who has been making the trip for seven years, lies on the
floor "Dribbles" behind their legs, has his own basket,. 'Harvey"
with "Guinness" and "Portia" share an orange crate. With
five people, their luggage and the pets, the station waggon is
packed!
"Once", Peg related, "we were going home last year and it
was very hot. Harvey was feeling it, so I let him out of the
crate and he hopped up and sat on a pile of blankets. Jack pulled
up at a service station on the way home and you should have
seen the look on the attendant's lace! His eyes almost popped
out of his head."
