When I was growing up in Ohio, I was fortunate to have several animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, squirrels, etc. My mother and father, who were the loves of my life, had a rule in the family….no animals in the house!
“Loving” Lou Lou Bell: My Special Friend
I have never had my own dog. My dad, wonderful as he was, would never allow a “beast” in the house. (Dad was English.) Well…Despite the household ban, I always loved animals. I never realized, however, just how strong that love could be.
