It means "brownish or gray, marked with darker spots or streaks". The books always refer to Jack as "the brindle bulldog". Maybe we should take a paint brush to my daughter's "Jack" and make him more authentic?! ;-)Mrs. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08370647029648135495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302604839054825701.post-87559975787488168042008-08-10T17:14:00.000-05:002008-08-10T17:14:00.000-05:00What a wonderful show and tell!

We've all enjoyed the books so much.

It would be overwhelming becuase she has been such a big part of my life.

I'm also a big Laura fan, and I've been to her home in Mansfield twice (school field trips in the early 80's--lived in MO while growing up) and I loved it each time. I would dearly love to go back again to see how its changed since I last visited. I have a bookmark I bought at the souvenier shop of Laura's favorite bible verses and I still us it for reference to this day.<BR/><BR/>I just found your blog a couple of weeks ago and I have already saved several of your recipes to try soon. I enjoy the site and look forward to visiting much more in the future.

It was built just for her, with cabinets at her height. All the toursists with us looked like they were in a dollhouse. ;-) But, me at 5 feet, felt right at home - I loved it!Mrs. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08370647029648135495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302604839054825701.post-31706898050449676902008-08-08T11:07:00.000-05:002008-08-08T11:07:00.000-05:00OH that is really neat....can you imagine what Lau...OH that is really neat....can you imagine what Laura would think...I can't BELIEVE people would even be interested in a TREE that we planted.....lol.
