lassie

[carmalee]

have just flicked the tv on and it seems Lassie is in a very bad state and not likely to survive - suitable music was playing

[Rodge2]

Don't worry, she'll soon up and about and indicating that there's 'someone stuck down the mine'!

[cupid04]

Iswn't that skippy that was stuck down a mine? Loved all the animal programmes as a
kid, including :- skippy ,Lassie, Flipper, Black beauty, Follyfoot to name but few.

[Rodge2]

Oh right enough I remember Skippy, but I don't remember him actually being stuck himself. My recollection is that he used to just make that clucking noise and the humans would surmise that someone was down the mine...YET AGAIN!

[carmalee]

thanks - the music floored me - really thought it was the end - Skippy, what's that you say - a fire at the oil refinery?

[cupid04]

Rodge, did you ever watch goodness gracious me where they did a brilliant pee
take of skippy called skipinder the punjab kangaroo. Quite old but I still find it
hilariously funny. You might find it on You tube.Sorry I don't know how to do links.

Thanks mamyalynne for that, you've made my day.

Sorry carmalee for hijacking your lassie special moment. I remember crying over lassie
films with my mum[long time ago] .I did try and watch them with my daughter when
she was growing up but she isn't as sentimental as me and used to laugh while I
tried to hide my tears.

[carmalee]

no worries Cupid and thank you ttfn - am on skype with daughter dearest now but will check back later -

The irony is, all the 'Lassie' dogs were male - they are easier to train!

[carmalee]

andy-hughes always been my opinion xc

[Mamyalynne]

That's ok cupid was only helping out it is very funny.

[karenmac60]

Did she start limping then lie down with one paw raised? That's the sick Lassie I always remembered :)

[carmalee]

[karenmac60]
