Fare is a hellion, a devil-creature, full of mischief and piracy and adventure. She is always – always – up for trouble and action – taking a walk, plunging into the meadow, chasing a chipmunk in the woods, pouncing on Red, pouncing on me, going for a ride, visiting her many pals on Main Street or in the town dump,  wrestling with me, hiding her treats, hiding Red’s treats, barking at strange and mysterious sounds, and oh yes marauding after sheep.

When she gives me the pirate eye, an adventure is about to begin.
