Please know that anyone who knows the woman you speak of knows she is anything but credible. She has been making life on the oldest collie email group a nightmare for many years, especially when the name of Lassie has been mentioned, declaring herself to be the one and only expert. Laughingly, she's been proven to be wrong so many times by your posts on this sight. We, the fans of Lassie through all these years, know she's a nut and will turn to only you for contact with your beloved family of dogs. I met Pal when I was 5 years old. I had a rather bumpy childhood and those nights with Lassie on television was one of the good parts of it. Meeting him was a dream come true, though the 'play dead' when your father picked up that limp dog was a bit too realistic for my child's psyche. We were able to approach your father and Pal after the performance. I looked at Pal/Lassie and he looked at me, and somehow I felt that if I could just put my arms around his neck for a hug everything would be right again. I wasn't allowed to touch him, but he leaned toward me and looked into my eyes and I saw such caring there. It was wonderful. These are very special dogs, these Lassies. Lassie has been something wonderful for all my many years (many, many years!) and I thank you and your family for sharing that with us. To have someone like She Who Will Not Be Named trying to steal personal glory from you and hurt you and your dogs in the process is just unconscionable and makes me very angry on your behalf. I hope you resolve this soon, but knowing her obsessive and often irrational nature I suspect it will take a bit of time. If there is anything that we, the TRUE fans, can do to help you, you have only to say the word. We're still here supporting you and Lassie, no matter how many generations of dogs join the party or legal changes come to pass. We know who our friends are, and I hope you can learn that most of us are your friends as well. Take care, Skye and her collie family p.s. Hope to speak to you soon about a collie who is obsessed with chewing electrical cords! Bob,

I can not believe that this person has done this and continues to spread lies. You have our full support and hope that the Lassie tradition continues for many more years. Your father was a great man and trainer and you have certainly lived up to his legacy. I would like to thank you for the many years of entertainment that your family has provided.
