(Dogs 24)
On one occasion when we went to Ripon [for Homecoming] we took Vica with us, a lifeless hunk on the back seat. But as soon as she got out and saw Skip, and smelled him, oh the difference! How she came to life! She ran in circles, her tongue nuzzling him -- what a happy reunion!
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.
