''In: ag'e I am :' the' approximately equivalent of a 126-year-old human," she explains, "and I've always been healthy. I've never had a bit of trouble except once about five years ago when I went to sleep under a pickup track. My rude awakening was accompanied by a grazed shoulder. Only a braise, really?' Lassie wears her age beautifully and she is serene in the knowledge that she is loved as much today as she was before her muzzle turned to silver. "She's not senile!" declares Mike Thomas. "She always knows when it's dinner time! And she looks forward to her regular trips to the beauty salon." Lassie, you're a vain old lady! Happy Birthday! !By FIDO DANFORD "I was born on September 15, 1960 in the home of a family who lived on Walker Park Road," says Lassie. "My mother was a cocker spaniel. "I don't really remember my father," she adds, "but I think he was a Labrador. He and my master she prompt!y won the General Hospital Auxiliary and mother were separated. As soon hearts of the, entire housoho!' St: David's Episcopal Church. as possible," Almost 18 years ago, at the age of six weeks, Lassie became a birthday gift for nine-year-old Nate Thomas, son of Berwyn and Emma Thomas of Shelton. Although Nate was officially her and gave her affection freely in return. According to Mike Thomas, brother of Nate, Lassie has attended Washington State University, the University of Washington and Oregon State University. "She majored in family planning," says Mike, "but failed to earn a degree. She did, however, receive commendation "for attendance. She accompanied my parents whenever they visited me or my brother and sister." In spite of her interest in the subject, Lassie has never reared a family. Her maternal tendencies were nipped in the bud by the rather drastic birth control method called spaying. Her agile mind soon turned to other pursuits. "I am a nature lover," she confides, "and I consider myself a connoisseur of the great outdoors. I used to hunt mushrooms with Mrs. Thomas." Lassie claims an honorary membership with groups whose outings she has attended with the Thomas family. These include the Yacht Club, Mason County Historical Society, Mason Widely traveled, she has toured California, Oregon, Canada and most of the state of Washington. "My youthful passion," Lassie reminisces, "was the chasing of garbage men; but I outgrew this game many years ago. I've never considered myself to be much of a watchdog, but I liked to bark when people came on my premises and I served as companion and bodyguard for a Mason County Health Nurse, Mrs. Thomas. "For the past year," she continues somewhat sadly, "I've been at a decided disadvantage. I think I've only given out two or three muffled woofs. I'm deaf, you know, and 1 don't see too well." When a second dog, Ilka, joined the family six years ago Lassie was outraged. She learned to accept the newcomer but the generation gap prevented any close communication between the two. The recent addition of a cat has been beneath her notice. Lassie is slowing down. She walks with difficulty, but her mind is clear and she recalls a life as rich and happy as it has WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT MEDICINES?
