In Spite of what Aunt Abigail would wish if I had been allowed a pet it would have been a snow white kitten with maybe black paws so his name could be "Morgan"
Mother always had a fondness for "Doves" although she could not find it in her heart to cage such a sweet bird.
Aunt Abigail did have a fondness for the chinkens in the hen house, although she was much more fond of them for supper.
Barnabas had his pet I suppose, he favored his horse and the stables, before Josette he would always enjoy his daily ride.
Father hated animals that did no work at all so it is difficult to know what sort of pet he would have liked, although I would think father would have found a fish a good pet.
Ben Stokes would no doubt love a "Bulldog", as Riggs would have loved to have own his own "parret"
Well these are the pets I believe my family as well as some of the servants might have had, if Father allowed it that is.
