Jon Provost was my sister's real estate agent in Santa Rosa! He's a very nice fellow and has some humorous stories concerning the Lassies. I think there were about eight of them and one or two were actually female. Tommy Retig who played Jeff on the original TV series was apparrently confused by the whole gender thing. I understand that was the reason he gave up his acting career. I could be very wrong on that last point of cause and effect but not on the gender issue.

Did she ever go to the toilet? Don F. stole my thunder on that one. Thanks a lot Don. Well, (a-hem), she was always pulling Timmy or Porky or Jeff or somebody out of a well or a toilet or some such. Eventually the whole show went in the toilet so maybe that answers your question.
