This is Ms. Matilda Rose Baker, (affectionately known as Mattie) she is ten years old and a good dog! She sleeps by our bed and is good to bark when she hears a strange sound. She is a comfort to us. Every one needs a good dog in their life. Mattie was spayed when she was just a pup and has never known the joy of motherhood. She tells me she would have been a good mother and I have no reason to doubt her. Mattie can only say one word that anyone can understand and that word is "ham." Of course, she communicates with me fluently in Dogese!
