Title: Backyard of Emanis Dog Trot
"As I said, we moved to Arcadia when I was 11 and I brought my pet skunk with me. I had found it in a ditch in Clute and my parents let me keep it. My dad and I built a place to keep it in the backyard and everyone liked to come and visit with and pet my skunk, Stinker. Several years later someone came and took my skunk and that really upset me. Also in the backyard after my daddy had sharpened a disk blade and I was loading it, I dropped it and almost cut my toe off. Momma fixed me up and I headed on to the fields with my daddy."
