Dippy is a Black Lab mix that walked into my life 14 years ago. He never left. Dippy was a great Guard Dog, loved to chase squirrels and sometimes have one for lunch. He never bit anyone, dug holes, barked unless a stranger or Little Donnie approached the gate. Children loved to play with him and watch him follow commands. You could put a towel on the floor and tell him to "get in his Bed" and he would stay there all day if you didn't tell him to get up. There is only one thing he didn't know........That he was a girl! I called her a boy all her life and she never knew the difference.
