dreds OF acres of land where dozens of
the shaggy colts and fat mothers ran
about grazing. So Toodles had the
time Of his life sitting on a big rock in
the field watching them feeding or
wading in the creek. One day when he
came in to dinner his mother told him
THAT when they went back to town 1t
would be impossible to keep FLUFFY. as
the family would give up their house
and take a fiat. You know they will
not allow dogs in fiats?" remarked Mrs.
