A Lady in her Finery

Lady's Summer Grace, our collie's registered name, is our only furry friend who was purchased from a breeder, almost 11 years ago. Jim had always wanted a collie, having read a book about a regal collie (Lad, A Dog) as a child. Lady is a beautiful dog, which we attribute to her lineage. She must have liked the line for looks so much that she decided to get in that line twice and skip the "smarts" one. She is, as they say, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But, like people, no one has everything. So we love our Lady and attribute to her our love of animals. She will be 11 years old next week. Given her still youthful heart, she doesn't act much different than she did as a puppy.
Happy Birthday Lady, and many happy days ahead.
