(Dogs 12)
Jennie settled down well to her new home when we brought her to Richland Center. She was getting to be an old lady now, still devoted, still my dog. Skip complained she was not a good companion for him -- he wanted a real dog at his heels when he climbed the Town Bluff, a German Shepherd. We said Oh no -- we couldn't have two dogs -- and Jennie was here first. And German Shepherds are so big.
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.
