Don't get stumped!

When growing up the little girl my age on the corner, Wendy had a pet raccoon. It pretty much had free run of the neighborhood. It's tail was only 2 inches long. His name was Stubby and followed her and the rest of us kids around like a puppy.

For living in the big city, Wendy and I had pretty countryfied pets. She had stubby, and I had my great horned owl, Herbert. A neighbor raised rabbits, and around the corner was a dairy. I remember a lot of the neighbors getting their milk from the dairy. We never did, but I never even thought about it. Guess my parents had their reasons. Maybe they didn't want to mess with separating and doing something with the cream.
