Alchemist Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm a day or so late, but for those of you who (like me) really enjoy Patricia McConnell's writings, you might want to know that her Border collie, Lassie, crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday: http://www.theotherendoftheleash.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane allen Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thank you for posting this. I hadn't found that site, but have read most (all?) of her books. I feel like I know Lassie - what a stunning photo from not long ago. So many comments, but I really like this one: “I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives, and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race; for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?” - Sir Walter Scott Run in peace, Lassie. diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc friend Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks for posting the news. I enjoy reading Ms. McConnell's work and always appreciated her tidbits about Lassie - it always makes for a more interesting read when the writer/trainer includes anecdotes about his/her own dogs. Here's to a never ending supply of ice cream for Lassie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC-Liz Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I just read her post on the 23rd. Heart wrenching.... RIP Lassie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
