so what kind of pets do you have at home
at home i have a wide variety we have a lab back home and we also have some horses and
we we have one calf but it not really a pet it just it's just it's a means of food
yeah yeah
but horses and my dogs are my pets
uh-huh
i i was raise on a little ranch so i've been raised around horses and dogs my whole life
where is home

oh okay
we use to have two dogs we had a um
uh peekaboo
you know the mixed pekinese and poodle and then we had a uh Airedale terrier
yeah
yeah i know what they are
oh really
yeah and the Airedale was fantastic she was great
real trained and protective and
um
she was interesting
yeah when i was
but
yeah go head
when i was growing up i had a German shepherd that was everybody
my mom brought the dog for herself but the dog didn't like anybody except me
um
and i was the only child so me and that dog were just like best friends and
unfortunately we had to put here out because she got to old but
i did want any dogs after that and then when i got married
yes i know a chicken
that's my young that's my older son
but um i just dogs and horses are the only kind of pets i really enjoy
yeah um
i got the the Airedale or my husband for a Christmas present
and the peekaboo was mine for my girls and me i guess
and um you know we don't have any now i just got to where um i couldn't afford to feed them you know and um
that have to be groom both dogs had to be groomed cause of there hair and
yeah
that gets very expensive very expensive to groom
oh i know that feeling
oh and it just
i have to do that with the cocker cause i use to have a cocker to and
uh-huh
it just didn't fit into the budget
it would fit into my mines right now either with two kids it's like
uh-huh no that what i have i have two girls and it just
oh really i have two boys
yeah didn't um didn't fit but we enjoyed them when we had them you know
yeah
planning you know
we got the Lab when it was a puppy for our boys
was fun
uh-huh
and
my my oldest son just insisted he had to have a puppy so we got him a Lab because that's a good children dog
uh-huh
and my friend down the road back home in Arizona breeds cocker spaniels
uh-huh
and she said as soon as i got back home i could have my pick
oh okay
i'm waiting to get my cocker from her
that would be good now we got the peekaboo as a puppy but the Airedale was was pretty much grown
yeah
she was a couple years old
and um she had been trained and everything before we got her
is she papered
huh
does she have her papers
yeah
but she um she was from a really good family to of of dog you know if that you know whatever you want to call it but
yeah
um the only thing was one she was she was use to being on a ranch a big wide open and then i brought her to our our duplex and we had a fence in back yard
oh
and so the only problem with her was when you open the gate she was gone
yeah
and this dog if the said sit she'll sit you said lay she she'll lay you tell her go get in your pin she'll go get in her pin
and she wouldn't come out but if you got her out behind the fence or behind the house inside the house she would not come when you call her
it would just be she's gone she's gone and she's gone that's it she open up she open the gate by herself
you know she would take her nose and flip it open and get out
really
not very many learned how to do that
she was very smart
i know my shepherd did and it
it just really floored me when it it happen
uh-huh
because i went out there to feed here one mourning and she was just gone
she was just gone
and i was like Reba Reba where in the heck are you
i was about to die i thought my goodness we've only had this dog one day two days and she's already gone and i spent all day looking for her
i thought somebody stole Reba at first because she was a black and silver shepherd and they are really hard to come by
they are
and she was you know she had her papers and everything
and i thought somebody stole her at first
uh-huh
and then i she came wondering back later that day with a rabbit in her mouth and just went right back into her pin
oh my goodness
and i went out there the next mourning to feed her and i put her food in there and i walked out the gate and pretty soon i heard the gate slick open and she comes walking out behind me i was like
um
well that isn't going to work
no they used Molly um this is a dog that um
John my husband aunt had brought
and that's how i had got her i couldn't have afforded to buy her i mean they are expensive
yeah
and um
so
