BEST COLLIE DOG.


"Bow-wow, WOW. WOW. bow-wow,
WOW. bow-wow." said Blue Blood.
He was 50 named because he was
such a fine dog and because they said
he had blue blood. meaning very fne
and arlstocratic blood.
He had lived on this side of the
ocean always and so had his parents
and so had his grandparents so he was
very proud when he took the prize at
the Collie Club show.
In fact he took the first prize of all
over all the Mrs. Collies and the Mr..
Collies.
Now I've done it, he said

That some grown-ups find it hard To
