“This story contains a lot of dogs. They are Shetland Sheepdogs, known to the people who love them, as I do, as Shelties, to the people who know nothing about them as “miniature collies,” and to all small children as “Look, Mom! It’s a little Lassie!” This seems a good time to say a few words about the living soul who I have shared my life with longer than anyone else. Longer than my first wife, longer than my sons, longer than I lived at home with my parents and sisters, longer than I have live...d with Lee, though I hope in a few more years that will have changed. I’m speaking of the finest dog that ever lived, my beloved Sheltie, Cirocco. That’s my prejudiced opinion, of course, but I would have no respect for any dog owner who wouldn’t proudly say the same thing about that special dog who, for a time, made your life worth living through the down and lonely hours. She was our second Sheltie. We got the first, Fuchsia, from a friend in Marin County with half a dozen of them, who was basically letting her newest litter run wild at her country house.MoreLessRead More Read Less
