Here's Mama's other pet.  It think it is currently my pet Mama's Pet.

This is also known as the Sweep's hornpipe. Poor old Béal Feirste could do with a good brushing. Now that the whole town is a smokeless zone there are probably plenty of spare bristled implements with which to effect that very same cleanup.

For such a simple reel there seem to be a lot of ways of playing the second part.  I've had a go at a few of them here.

It's a great tune for the flute.

I don't know which Dillon liked this one - Bob, Thomas or the rabbit from the Magic Roundabout,  but I admire his, her or its taste.

Here's a 12/8 single jig.  It's a sort of pipey thing but a flute can think that it is a pipe when necessary.

There seem to be quite a few tunes with this name.  Most of them are slip jigs.  I think I know what causes them to slip.

It took me about ten minutes to get anything even resembling a tune out of my flute this morning.  I'm sorry if this tune sounds excessively reluctant.
