Lassie

The ever-faithful friend of Timmy Martin was Lassie. She was quite a beautiful and intelligent collie. Lassie seemed to increase her breed's popularity. Millions tuned in to watch her show on Sunday night. For many seasons, the show reached a great ratings height. Collie dogs quickly became a ubiquitous sight. Lassie's episodes of bravery were not easy to forget. So many people would want a dog like her for a pet.

A wonderful write going down memory lane. Timmy and Lassie were the best TV show. They sure do not make shows like they did in days gone by. Blessings......................

I remember Timmy and Lassie and I like this poem because I had kind of forgotten until I read it.

You know, you're right! Lassie and collies were 'a thing' back in the day. Who didn't want a collie? -- or a phone that you had to crank up to reach the operator to place your call?! lol. The good old days. :) gw
