Snooky's Dog Collar

We lived in Bath, Maine at Hyde Park, and I must have been about 4 or 5 years-old. My mother kept shouting at me to stay out of the tree in the yard and threatening punishment if I would not comply. She kept her promise...she put our Dachshund's dog collar around my neck and tethered me to the clothesline. All I could do for a short time--until she unhooked me--was run back and forth along the length of the structure. The memory still makes me laugh! Mom swears she did not do this, but hey! This is MY memory! Heh heh heh!
