~How Much Is That Doggie In The Window~
By ~Pattie Page~
GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY
This is Gary (my brother) and his dog "Ticker" when he was a pup. He is an Australian Blue Healer
This is "Ticker" now. He does everything on the ranch, almost human.:))) He helps Gary bring the horses
up to the stable, he goes and gets the newspaper. He does all sorts of things. He has a special "girlfriend",
that lives across the field. Her name is "Lady". They play together all day long. Ticker even has her
trained now to go with him to bring the horses in. Lady is a very beautiful dog. She is blonde in color. Might
be able to get a picture of her, if I ask my brother, sweetly.:)))
Ticker...Looks like he has something over by his left paw.
Would you look at this. Getting ready to swing.
Gary and Ticker messin.
Awe...Nappy time for Ticker.
Awe...This is Lady. She's a pretty and very lovable dog.
Ticker and Lady. This is Ticker's girlfriend.
Lady and Ticker in the back yard of my brother's ranch. Ticker must be getting tired.
Ticker and Lady playing. They do this most of the day. Plus they chase one another, unless they are helping Gary
with the horses.
Wooooooo!!! Look at the snow. Ticker and Lady, too much playing. "Nappy Time"
Ticker, Lady and Shelby. Shelby, the Dalmation, belongs to my niece, Cathy.
This is Ticker's House. I see Shelby is visiting. This was built by my brother Gary. It is all fenced in and
even on the top. The bigger place where you see Tickers's dog house, that is all insulated. Then he has like a
pavilion type in the front. He can lay there and keep out of the rain or whatever and see what is going on. Everynight
when the dusk to dawn lights come on, Ticker knows it is time for him to say Good Night. He goes straight to his house
and then Gary locks the gate. You and I could sleep here, it is that clean and warm. You might say my brother is a
perfectionist.:)))
Cathy (my niece) and her dog Shelby.
She is the daughter of my brother
Gary and Berdie.
This is my sister Donna's dog. Her name is Sydney, but they call her Citygirl. Donna found her on the river bank
at Shelbyville, where our trailers are. She was a new born. Some dirty ole person must have dumped them. There
were four but only two alive. Donna took one and her grand- daughters friend took the other one. She is a very
sweet dog...And boy is she a Mama's girl...She can't stand too be away from Donna.
Wrinkles was a miniture Dachshund. He passed away in 1999. Didnt think Citygirl was going to make it, because they
were so close.

Citygirl and Wrinkles. Wrinkles laying on the top step. This was Donna's other dog. He passed away a couple
years ago. Citygirl and Wrinkles were best buddies. Never seen two dogs that were so close to one another
as they were. as they were.
