Farley the Old English Sheepdog in his own Childrens Book

Lynn Johnston has written her first children's book, and it stars "the original" Farley from her comic strip.

The paragraph 4th from the end made me stop and think.

4th paragraph----interesting... 8O 8O 8O :? :? :?
Wow!
My opinion is changing.
Yeah, that does put a different spin on things....... :? :?
8O :?
Wow.... really.... how many clubs etc donate to the Farley Foundation?

I mean, as long as the money is used properly I guess it doesn't matter but I had no idea!!!
Wow 8O
I wonder what kind of farm the kid would've went to had he lost the coin toss?
Wow. I'm sure she only said it as a joke, but she should have known how it would sound - especially to the sheepie lovers!
And I guess to children lovers too 8O
I actually just bought the book this morning...:( Don't even have kids yet but I loved the idea of them having a sheepie book to learn how to read from...the book itself is very sweet...after he "follows his nose" around town, he stumbles over a child who got lost in the woods and he helps him find his way home. Kind of wish she hadn't made that comment though...
While I may not agree with her choice - I think many of you have at least said you suppoprted others similar choices - dog doesn't like new baby; dog doesn't like new dog; dog doesn't like the new house. Why would you not support her decision here?

Personally I don't agree with her choice, but I don't usually agree with the othrs either.
It's not that she gave the dog away that bothers me.... it's just a surprise I guess, always thought of Farley living to a ripe old age with his family etc...
Don't know why, I rarely even looked at the cartoon strip.
