And Two Squirrels
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION

I have four pets. Their names are
Joe, Oscar, Sus and Pete.
Joe is a pig. I got him when he
was three days old. I didn't think
he would live, he was so tiny. I fed
him milk from a bottle and nipple
until he was four weeks old. One
day he bit my finger and since then
he has been eating out of trough.
He has grown up now and weighs
about $50 pounds, but he is still a
nice pet.
Pete and Sus are two squirrels.
am very fond of them. I got them
before they had their eyes open and
I thought they would never get them
open. I fed them cream from an
eye-dropper for 10 days, until they
were big enough to drink from a
spoon and then a bowl. Now they
will sit on my shoulder and eat
nuts, candy, crackers or any kind
of fruit. AS special treat on Sun
day I give them a tiny bowl of
cream.
Oscar is a pet turtle. He is so
tiny that he just does cover a nickel.
have him in small wire cage. I
have to keep water on him all the
time. have given him all kinds of
food but he just refuses to eat.
When came to the farm my aunt
and uncle already had big collie
dog. I can't claim him as my own
pet, but they share him as a pet
with me. I love the farm and all the
animals.
