We had a number of animals as I grew up. The first I remember was a calico cat named Matilda. She lived with us until we moved to the new house. She wouldn't stay at the new house but kept going back to the old.

We had several dogs, mostly strays picked up by Uncle Franklin. The first was Satchel, then one named Bimbo by Mom but called Bingo, then a small black terrier and then Ike. Ike lived quite a few years and was a Blue Tick Hound, mix that Mom rescued from a bad situation at Ocean Downs racetrack where she worked.

I didn't remember her being fond of the animals but the pictures show more than I remember.
