Our Dog

The collie we got as a pup grew up and became a car chaser. We couldn't break him of the habit and he finally got killed by a car. I had a feeling that the neighbors were not too sorry to see him go. At the time I was too sick to think much about the dog, I had the chicken pox and was really feeling terrible.

Mother believed in fresh air for any illness and she made me go outside and stay in the sun. It was very windy and cold that week and the cold made my rash itch like crazy. I can still see some of the scars on my face.
