(Dogs 8)
Always docile, Jennie surprised me one day by showing me she had determination to solve a problem when she thought she knew best. She had had a litter of pups and they were in the utility room. Hoping to speed up the weaning, I had tied her to a chair in the living room and sat down nearby to read. A few moments later I was stunned to glance up to see her busily, silently, with no fuss at all, calmly chewing the rope in two, to regain her offspring.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
