We had two dogs. ChuckieI and ChuckieII. They were both run over by cars as they were so fat they couldn't get out of the way.

The funny part of that was my mother didn't know that dogs were suppose to be fed once per day. She fed them three meals a day and that's why they were fat.

I don't particularly remember people having cats. If they did, they were outsie cats and were kept mostly out of the house.

I suspect most people back then preferred dogs as they were more lovable and didn't require people picking up after them like they are required to do today.
