Chubby in Canal Flats

    As summer turned to fall, I got an opportunity to go to B.C. to cut Christmas trees. Always on the lookout on how to make an extra buck(that hasn't changed) and with a chance for a break from the city, I did not hesitate to accept the offer. Trees and mountains and the outdoors was definitely my idea of heaven on earth. A friend picked us up and Chubby and I went to his small ranch(?) near Canal Flats.
     After what seemed like a long day we entered Slims cabin and were greeted by his female cat. I will never understand what happened next, whether the cat was in heat or??
 But Chubby greeted the cat enthusiastically and although he had had his "operation" decided he was once again an "intact" male.(Some things never die huh?)  Anyway there the two animals were bouncing on the bed and to all intents and purposes attempting to breed!!! We could only shake our heads and wonder how good the vets were these days.  Besides his extra-curricular activities in the cabin with the cat, Slim and I did a lot of riding and Chubby was always up for that and enjoyed himself totally. All too soon our break was over and we had to return to the city and instead of cutting Christmas trees we worked on Slims new cabin and that was way more fun but no money in it. We left feeling rested of body and spirit.
