Inspiration of the pet cemetery business...
:01:30
is a little story that probably
leads me back many years.
:01:37
I was born in the state of North Dakota...
:01:41
county of Barnes, city of VaIIey City.
:01:47
I was there for severaI years.
:01:51
Being born in 1930,
then the WorId War II started...
:01:56
in 1941, when I went to the farm.
:02:02
On the farm, I had my own pet coIIie...
:02:05
which worked with me and was beside me.
:02:08
No matter what I did and where I'd go,
my pet coIIie was with me.
:02:15
One afternoon, we came back
from hauIing bundIes...
:02:21
''thrashing,'' the oId word's going.
:02:25
And an oId ModeI A came up the road,
struck my coIIie and kiIIed him.
:02:32
I never did catch him.
:02:35
But I grabbed my coIIie...
:02:39
and heId him in my arms untiI he died.
:02:43
And I puIIed one IittIe acre of Iand
right behind the house...
:02:49
I'd say a quarter of a miIe away.
:02:52
It overIooked the prairie to the north...
:02:59
which was reaIIy a beautifuI....
It had a Iakeside at the back.
