: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.
:03:02
I picked that as the cemetery
for my own coIIie.
:03:07
Right across the street
from where I lived in Los Altos...
:03:12
was the most beautiful piece of land...
:03:15
as far as I was concerned,
in the whole valley.
:03:18
And, boy, I knew what to do with it.:
:03:22
make that into a pet cemetery.
:03:25
I thought, ''Well, this is going to be
my project of life. ''
:03:28
I found the land, I found the need.
:03:31
Something the old-timers
used to tell me years ago.:
:03:35
''To be successful in this world
and life, find a need and fill it. ''
:03:42
And, boy, I found a need and I wanted
to fulfill this more than anything.
:03:47
More than anything I did my whole
life, I wanted to fulfill this dream.
:03:59
And there is where we started our work.
