It wasn’t long before I found a black kitten. Her name was Blackie. It sounded right at the time. I had a Cushman Eagle motor scooter at that time. I would put Blackie around my neck and ride all over the place and she'd never move. It really amazed people that that cat would just lay around my neck and ride with the wind blowing in our faces. I took that cat everywhere. To the store and on fishing trips and even Sandy didn’t seem to mind us having her along. Sometimes I’d take Polly or Molly on my shoulder and Blackie around my neck and Sandy would run along beside us as we toured the planet. What a site. I’d take them to the big woods and we’d set up camp. I’d catch minnows and crawfish for us to eat. I had made grill out of bricks and a piece of wire I had found to grill the fresh caught crawfish and minnows. Yum I can still taste’um. Sandy and Blackie really like my cookin’. They’d eat’um right up. Of course Polly or Molly didn’t care for it much. They would eat the bread I had snuck out of the house. I even brought some home and grilled them outside on my grill. Mom didn’t seem to mind and I am not sure if she had even seen me do it. However, by now mom had just learned to live with all the things I did.
