(Dogs 34)
And yet from the first, I think Mr. Dee knew whose dog he was. I know I did. Mary M. lovedhim too. And if she didn't drill him in his tricks, she knew how to show him off to visitors. And though she has left me, as have the rest, and he is 15, old for a dog, he and I are still keeping house, still putting up with each other.
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.
