Gail: I really enjoyed reading about the badger. I remember my mother telling me stories about him.
Your nephew Tim.

Oh, Mom, I wasn't expecting that ending! I don't remember hearing that part of the story before. I'm so sorry, because Jolly sounded like a wonderful friend. Your Mother must have been very tolerant to let him build his tunnels out of her wash house floor!

Welcome to OurEchoes Tim. Wonder if you or your brother, Bob would have a picture of Jolly? Comments like yours is what keeps me writing. Thanks, Gail

Hey Sis, I seem to remember some photos of a family reunion, and an animal was in one shot--not sure if it was Jolly. Now that I think about it, perhaps it was a raccoon. Did you have a raccoon later?

No, it was our older sister, Melba who had the racoon and it was a few years earlier.

Hi Gail, I enjoyed your story about Jolly. I used to have all sorts of animals, too, as a child. I once raised a baby crow, who used to come back and visit after he was grown and set free. And recently, I raised a baby flying squirrel. Your writing is always a great read!
