Laurie's memory from Memories of JJ
A couple of things about John and animals.
I'm a cat lover, so I asked John if he liked cats. He said yes, with barbecue sauce.
However, he seems to have had an affinity for mice. He had the critters around his house in Magna. He would catch them in a live trap and throw them into a fallow wheat field on his way to work.
A mouser would have taken care of that but would have to look out for the barbecue sauce.
