Tiney, though very entertaining in his way, seems to have been rather a grave and surly fellow. When he died and he lived to a good old age, some nine years, I think Cowper buried him with honor, and wrote an epitaph for him. I will copy two or three stanzas from this epitaph, to show that Tiney got quite as good a character as he deserved.
The spaniel held the great dog in awe, and never but once was known to go to the stable to see him. The circumstances that led to this visit were very curious, and I must relate them. When Tiney first saw Leo, he was only a puppy, and I suppose was frightened at the sight of so large a dog. He began to bark at him with all his might. Mr.
Lee noticed that Tiney appeared very uneasy. He jumped repeatedly into her lap, and from that to the floor, rubbing his sides against her feet. "What can Tiney want?" she said aloud. "I'm sure he is trying to make me understand something." "O, I wish he could go!" cried Minnie. "You know how sad he was when we were gone before."
When her father came home from town, if he did not see his little daughter on the lawn, playing with Fidelle, the cat, and Tiney, the dog, he was almost sure to find her in the shed where Jacko's cage was kept, with Miss Poll perching on her shoulder.
Leo agreed to revenge the insult that had been offered the little fellow. When the mastiff came by, they were ready for him. Tiney did the barking, while his defender caught the mastiff, and whipped him severely. Leo and Tiney then returned to the house together, when the spaniel showed his gratitude by running back and forth before his friend, and giving several short barks.
I have given an account of Minnie's pet parrot, and of Minnie's pet cat. In this volume I shall give the reader an account of her pet dog, Tiney, with anecdotes of other dogs. Tiney was a spaniel. He had long, pendent ears, black, expressive eyes, a short, well-rounded mouth, and long, silky hair. He was an affectionate little fellow, who attached himself to every body in the house.
"Strange to say, he was lame ever after, except when the team was off from the ship. "Run and get the book about animals, on the third shelf in the library," said Mr. Lee, "and I will read you a story." Minnie flew to obey him, and Tiney, wagging his tail, slowly followed, but came back presently, and resumed his place on the sofa. "Here," said Mr. Lee, "is an account Mr.
The next day, however, having made up her mind that the poor creature must be dead, and his sufferings ended, and having given Tiney many admonitions to keep out of the road when carriages were passing, her thoughts turned once more to the baboon. Mr. Lee found in his library a book which gave a short account of the animal, which he read to her.
