Lassie and the Kittens!

Here is a third offering of the Lassie books in my vintage collection. I'll be sharing these Lassie books all week so be sure to come back and see all the others I'll be posting. Today's book is entitled, Lassie and the Kittens. Don't you just love the colors and graphics on this cover?

As a child, I fell in love with Lassie and could never get enough of the stories about this wonderful collie! How about you? Did you enjoy the tales of rescue: books, films, and TV?

Today, I am also participating in RUBY TUESDAY hosted by WORK OF THE POET. Click HERE to see more participants and their beautiful shades of red!

Lassie and the Daring Rescue!

Many years ago as a child, I fell in love with Lassie and her tales of courage and wonder. The amazing stories told in books and film were enough to keep me dreaming every day and night of having my very own Lassie one day!

As it turned out, I have had the supreme pleasure of having several collies and shelties as dear beloved pets in my life for which I will be forever grateful. Their lovely personalities are a joy to behold!

Through the years, I began to collect Lassie books and now have a sweet collection. These I will share with you during the coming week. We start today with Lassie and the Daring Rescue!

How many of you have enjoyed the Lassie stories in books, films, and/or TV? Did you have a favorite?

Going for a Ride with Mom and Dad!


Our mom and dad take us everywhere they go...well, almost everywhere! We love riding in the car and now that we are senior citizens we love it even more.

That's my 12 1/2 year old sister Carrie behind me in the picture. You can tell who she is by her plain face (that's what she is called—a "Plain Faced Sheltie"—because her face fur is all velvety brown!) Isn't she beautiful?

That's me in front of her. My name is Bonnie Lass and I'm a sable and white sheltie. I turned 11 years old in October an I'm slowing down a little but I can still bark with the best of them!

Have a great day everyone! And remember to love your pets as much as our mom and dad love us! (We were rescued many years ago and have Mom and Dad wrapped around our little paws. It's best that way!) Happy barks to all!
