V.W., Jim and Hugo all
make their home at the
residence of Charles and
Claudette Harper on High
Falls Road. The three of
them, all homeless at least
once in their lives, have
found security and the
comfort of being cared for at
the Harper home.
V.W., a male, multi-breed
canine of questionable age,
was nosing around in a
junkyard in Lilburn about a
year ago when Charles
Harper drove up in his V.W.
to get some badly needed
parts for repairs. V.W. took a
fancy to Charles’ Volks
wagon right away and
couldn’t keep himself from
crawling in. When Charles
spotted him and noticed his
under-nourished, scarred
and generally abused body,
his heart softened and the
two of them at once
established what proved to
be a lasting relationship.
Mindy, the Harpers’ teen
age daughter, has gained a
reputation for herself for the
many animals that she has
brought home for food and
shelter. Charles on many
occasions has scolded her for
burdening the family with
the unexpected guests. When
Charles returned home from
the Lilburn junkyard, the
tables were turned and to say
the least, he was more than
slightly embarrassed and
bulging with devoured crow.
Jim, a rooster of sturdy
character but a very un
steady posture, was given to
the Harpers by Robbie
Britton who originally plann
ed to eat him for dinner. As
hinted above, Jim has his
trouble maintaining an even

keel. If there is little wind
about and if the terrain is
fairly level, Jim gets along
pretty well but a gust of wind
broadside, or an unwary
stumbling and tipsy Jim is
down for the duration or until
someone can come to his
rescue.
Perhaps it is the result of
being frightened out of his
equilibrium at the prospect
of becoming Robbie’s din
ner; whatever the cause,
since anyone can remember,
Jim has had difficulty
maintaining his balance and
once he falls he is at the
mercy of the elements. Jim
has more than once been
accused of operating his
own hidden distillery.
Hugo, a solid black feline,
was found wandering by
Mindy last June 13, which
oddly enough was a Friday.
Mindy’s love of animals and
the pity that she felt upon
obseving the hunger stricken
feline overwhelmed any
primitive superstitious fears
that she might have had.
The contented threesome
find things very pleasant at
the Harper place. Hugh
enjoys his favorite soap
opera, “One Life To Live”,
each day and catches most of
Morris’ (the finicky cat of
T.V. fame) commercials.
V.W. has his sleeping
quarters under Charles’ bed
where he snores each night
away and Hugo bunks with
Mindy. Hugo and V.W.
engage in a friendly skirmish
now and then and Hugo is
without fail the victor of the
bouts.
Of all that goes on at the
Harpers’, V.W. dislikes only
the baths; one utterance of
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
the word and he makes
himself scarce. The Harpers
have started spelling the
word in order to avoid having
to hunt for him but, V.W., no
doubt, will soon catch on to
that.
Mealtime is an occasion for
work at the Harpers. Not
only must the human family
be fed and Hugo his Purina
Cat Chow, V.W. his meat
from the table and Jim his
ruth at random

CLOUDS IN COLOR
White clouds are streaked with gray
The sun is on his way
And dawn has gone!
Pink clouds are streaked with blue
The sun is greeting you
Daylight is bright!
Gray clouds are streaked with red
The sun is going to bed
And dusk is brusque!
Bronze clouds are streaked with pink
The sun’s about to sink
All’s right, good-night!

Obviously to call the

be a gross understatement; a
more accurate description of
them might be “animal
loved.”
