Lady



This is what our dog from the pound looks like...exactly. She is a German Longhaired Pointer. They are very rare in the U.S. and I am completely perplexed as to how such a dog ended up in the dog pound. They are hunting or gun dogs. They are intelligent, docile and excellent family dogs. We lucked out big time! Her tail is docked, which is supposed to make them better hunters but also no good as show dogs. Oh well, she'll have to settle for our suburban lifestyle, no shows or hunting trips. I am planning on teaching her how to find my car keys though.

WHILE she was inside she
heard pattering feet
round the back of the shed.
Some one with a black nose
sniffed at the bottom of the
door, and then locked it.



Jemima became much
alarmed.



A MOMENT afterwards
there were most awful
noises--barking, baying,
growls and howls, squealing
and groans.



And nothing more was ever
seen of that foxy-whiskered
gentleman.



PRESENTLY Kep opened
the door of the shed, and
let out Jemima Puddle-duck.



Unfortunately the puppies
rushed in and gobbled up all
the eggs before he could stop
them.



He had a bite on his ear
and both the puppies were
limping."
