Born in the 40’s to a farm family of 5 children in Bonner’s Ferry Idaho who farmed with horses or mules, we had milk cows and I grow up with a love and respect for animals.
Our parents expected that we would perform choirs for the extra things a child comes to expect and enjoy in life, learning that animals came first if you expected them to support you, either for food or performance. This taught us to rise early, feed before breakfast so the horses were ready to work when father had milked the cows and finished breakfast.
My love for animals began at an early age and I seemed to have a way with them. I realized with patience and reward I could get them to do almost anything for me. My pets ranged from Horses to Parakeets, each with it’s own little trick. My grandmother referred to me as “Elly May” ( a TV Clampett character) who had her critters doing all sorts of things.
It is true of all animals, be it a horse or what ever the species. Feeding and seeing to their needs teaches a child love and compassion for our companions and friends. It teaches disciplines to rise early and be where your supposed to be when your supposed to be there, as domestic animals depend on us to take care of them.
These are the first lessons a child learns about responsibility to others (animal or human) follow through with what you agree to do. A commitment to an animal shows character that will follow them through life. It starts a discipline of being on time, doing what is expected, being committed, and finding joy in life.
I write to entertain, teach and advise families with my stories of pleasure with animals and the joy they have afforded me through life’s experiences. May you and your family learn and find passion for animals in my writings. Thank you for reading; please pass it on to a friend.weniger sehen
