[Miss Marple]

I have owned two great dogs...Molly, a very loyal Sheltie mix who was my best buddy for over 10 years...and then I owned the famous Cassie the Coonhound, who grew and grew and grew until she weighed 160 pounds. She used to try to sit on my lap and I would be trapped in the chair! LOL! Cassie was well-known in the neighborhood for her "Great Escapes" in which she would run about 20 mph for long stretches of time and could NOT be coaxed home. Once I caught her INSIDE a home in which remodellers had left the door open and she was ambling around inside!

A great dog, who got cancer and died too young at six.

I am about ready for another dog but won't be considering one until after we go on vacation tis summer.

Consider another Sheltie...perfect sized dog as I see it.

Or a Lab. I've grown very enamored of these dogs.

When they wag their tail the entire bottom half of their body moves.

Didn't you used to refer to Cassie as the Designer Coon Hound? I remember reading your delightful stories about her.

I now have 2 Yorkies named Bo and Toot...fun inside dogs who serve as my 27 lbs. (collective) Warning System for anyone or anything coming near my rural home.
