TWO WALKING THEIR COCKERS INSPIRED ME TODAY. I HAVE ALWAYS LIVED WITH A PET, INCLUDING TRUMAN, MY PARENTS ALLOWED US TO HAVE THEM. MAMA HAD A PARAKEET DURING HER RETIREMENT. I WAS ALWAYS PARTIAL TO CATS. BUT WE HAD DOGS TOO AND RABBITS. OUR CHILDREN HAD MANY KINDS TOO. I REMEMBER HAVING LITTERS OF KITTENS FROM A MAMA CAT WHO HAD MANY LITTERS. REMEMBER? FUN TO NAME THEM TOO. YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS BUT I NAMED HER BETTY FOR AN OLD GIRL FRIEND OF TRUMAN'S.HE THOUGHT THAT WAS FUNNY,SORT OF. I THINK MAMA NAMED HER BIRD "BILLY BOY -SOMETHING. SHE CLAIMED SHE TAUGHT HIM TO TALK. DON'T KNOW WHAT LANGUAGE HE SPOKE, BUT HE WAS SAYING SOMETHING. ANYWAY PETS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF LIFE. TEACH US A LOT. MOSTLEY HOW TO LOVE. MISS MY BITSY THIS MORNING AS I LOOK TO HER PICTURE HERE ON MY DESK.
BETTY(still jealous of old girl friend) BOOP

Mamaw’s parakeet was named Pretty Boy. It takes several of us to complete our memories.
I thought it was some kind of boy. I am really digging deep lately. MOM
He said "hello" and "I love you" and whistle. He also could let himself out of his birdcage as we found out when company came over and we had the front door open.
You remember more than I do about Pretty Boy. She loved that fellow. Aunt Dot
