PET of the WEEK
by
Dale Whiten
If a pet’s value or worth
were determined by the
amount of love and attention
it gets, then many of the pets
in the area would approach
being priceless.
And Suzi is no exception.
She is a one and one-half year
old “poodle -person” which
(who) belongs to Mr. and
Mrs. Leslie Hamlin and their
daughter . Sljelly o£ Brook
wood Avenue, Jackson.
Mrs. Hamlin says they
began referring to Suzi as a
“poodle-person” because of
the way she made herself fit
right in with everyone in the
family.
A Christmas present for
Shelly, Suzi quickly won the
affection and respect of Mr.
and Mrs. Hamlin as well,
even at the expense of Mrs.
Hamlin’s giving up her
insistence that “no pets be
allowed in the house.”
Now she says she doesn’t
regret allowing Suzi to make
a place for herself in the
home and that she is Suzi’s
favorite person.
Some of Suzi’s winning
ways have been her ability to
identify each member of the
family by the sound of each
name and her preference for
having her meals served on a
plate by the dining table.
Or her ability to almost put
on her own sweater when she
hears the question “Want to
go for a ride?” A task she
almost performs while she is
simultaneously jumping up
and down. However, Suzi
shows respect as well as

receives it and if she’s not
asked to go for a ride, she
doesn’t show any outward
signs of protest.
A favorite activity of Suzi
is accompanying Shelly
while she practices piano at
which time Suzi hops onto the
piano bench and occasionally
adds a note of her own. Suzi
also spends a lot of time
playing with her favorite
toy-an old bedroom slipper
which she plays with by
tossing it into the air and then
catching it and which she
must have with her when
sleeping.

Mrs. Livia O'Hara attended
Lt. Governor Zell Miller’s
birthday party, Thursday
night, March 3,-where they
met country-singer, Charley
Pride, who performed a
two-hour medley of songs.
They met Pride backstage,
then after the show escorted
him to his waiting limousine.
Forming a congenial group
from Jackson to attend Lt.
Governor Zell Miller’s birth
day party, March 3, were
Miss Gigi Leverette, Mr. and
Mrs. Billy Leverette, Mr. and
Mrs. Richard O'Hara, Mr.

Freddie Cook and Mr. and

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
captivating routine of Suzi
at least for Mrs. Hamlin-is
her ability to know the
almost exact times when
Mrs. Hamlin arrives home--a
self-developed act which Suzi
carries out by standing up
against the French door,
parting the curtains with one
of her tiny paws to see if Mrs.
Himlin is there and then
fixing the curtains back the
way they should be.
That type of sensibility and
consideration-says Mrs.
Hamlin-is worth giving up
her “spic and span” house
for and that now she wouldn’t
take “anything” for Suzi.
