Border Collie with "Floss" Children's Book by Kim Lewis
 "A warmhearted story about
the importance of having fun. When Floss leaves the town where
she grew up to become a sheepdog on a farm, she'd like to play
with the farmer's children. But with so much work, there's isn't
time--until the farmer realizes his children need Floss as a
companion as much as she needs them."

ball again?" Click here or the book cover to the right
