Once my husband got us a kitten from Farmer Jim Neal, who advertised pets on his radio show. Unfortunately, my husband was a "dog person" so he didn't know that a tiny kitten with eyes not yet opened was too young to be adopted. But we fed her with an eye dropper for two long weeks and gave her a name. Maude grew up to be a fine cat and became a favorite in our Belhaven neighborhood where people fed her canned tuna as she visited up and down the street. Fortunately, she still came home to see us, probably because she liked our dog.
Boyd, if you are going to talk about your feist dog please be aware that many of your readers will remember Farmer Jim Neal who was on Jackson radio for 40+ years and always talked of his feist dog and in fact took guidance from him and shared that on air with his listeners. I respecfuly suggest you consider acknowledging Farmer Jim in order to give credit where it is due. If you have done so in a previous piece, my apologies.
oh, I do! I have four or five stories that are just about Farmer Jim Neal. I’ve written about him and Feist Dog so much that they’ve become recurring characters in these stories.

Here's one where I compare Neal's Feist Dog with Faulkner's Feist Dog

Here's one that tries to recapture what Pet Parade was like
