Description edit
My name is Jenny Wysocki and I live in a small village in Suffolk, England with my 3 grown up children, Katherine, Mark and Daniel. It was from their names that I formed my Affix.
I was 11 years old when I had my first Border Collie. She was a working sheepdog really as this was before they were recognised by the Kennel Club. Like many children of the time I was hooked on the Lassie Come Home stories shown on TV and was determined to have my very own Lassie. Unable to find a Rough Collie I was taken to see a litter of Border Collies. In the litter there were black and white puppies and 'Lassie' coloured puppies and you can guess which one I chose. I desperately wanted to take my Lassie home there and then but the puppies were only 4 weeks old so I had 3 long weeks to wait. However, 2 weeks later we received a call from the breeder saying we could collect Lassie a week early. I will never forget our first car ride together. Lassie snuggled up inside my coat and was promptly sick all over me! So started a beautiful friendship.
Lassie and I spent hours together walking and training in the fields near our home. When she was 6 months old we were allowed to join obedience classes. She was such an easy dog to train and together we took part in many inter-club competitions always coming away with a place, often a first or second. The years passed and when I married and left home Lassie stayed with my parents. Apart from having a Cocker Spaniel for a short time (I had an allergy to her and she went to live with my parents) I had to be content with cats for company for the next 20 years.
