For a coupla days preceding one Christmas when I was 8-yrs-old or so, our parents kept telling us
that some other parents were going to be dropping off their newborn child for us to take care of
over the holidays.
.
We couldn't figure out just WHO would do this or why -- right at Christmas.
.
Christmas Eve, they introduced us to that freshly-weaned baby... who became part of our family --
a beautiful medium-to-large collie puppy who had been part of a farm litter.
.
We had a contest to determine her name and I won with the answer to the riddle above.
.
Sandy Claws. Sandy, for short -- and she was everything you could want in a childrens' dog --
friend, playmate, protector and a very very good listener. She was much-loved and is still
much-missed.
