and then as if the ice storm wasnt enough to deal vv ith our cats and dogs sot into trouble just to relieve the monotonv i suppose it was this wav black joe picked a fight with a stra feline up in the barn and between them the upset a small open can of crankcase oil all over them selves oil that partner uses to paint the hen roosts ind then joe came to the house for smpath and first aid now 1 ask jou what could a person do for a poor lit tle pussy cat plastered with crank- case tjir it couidnt be washed i off coal oil might have helped but what would the coal oil haxe done to the poor cats skin the best i could do was to rub poor joe with an old towel and then i had to put him outside be cause we couldnt stand the smell of him around nor could i hac him leaving an oily patch behind him wherever he sat finallv fi the next few days joe did what a cat always does licked himself clean in doing so he also made himself sick so that he couldnt eat now thank goodness the oil has disappeared but so has a lot of joes fur the next excitement was caused by rust who ran into the house bringing w ith him an odor of skunk fortunatcl it wasnt verv strong so that with fresh air and by rolling around in the snow rusty got rid of the smell- while all this activity was going on ar ound with our various we had a visitor from toronto for a couple of days a visitor who liy ea in a well appointed
