(From the June/July Zephyr) My Personal History, Part 7: My Life as a Sheepherder (continued)…by Verona Stocks

Excerpt:

I had been alone in the hills so much, that watching these people joking and teasing each other, and laughing together was very fascinating to me. Felix could sure mix in with Pete and Lynn, even though he was much younger. Dad was enjoying himself.

Pete and Felix got together whenever they had a chance because they both liked to ride horses and if one bucked, that was fun too.

Pete had a horse that did tricks. She did not look like much, but if he told her she was dead she would lie down, stretch out and close her eyes. When he told her she was lazy she got up. When he whistled a certain tune she danced. He got on her and whirled a rope around her. She walked or trotted through the loop. She had many other tricks he had taught her. He really had a way with animals.
