Alt. Cross Family Dogs: Winker

Full Name: Winker Sue Cross

Breed: Corgi

Winker AKA Winky AKA The Winkerdog was, by turns, a total sweetheart and a terrible little rascal. She adored Daisy Ann and the girls, loved Roscoe and my wife, and pretty much thought of me as a servant. She was also very likely to try to herd the girls around, which they often rebelled against. That’s why a couple of times a week, I’d take her to my parent’s ranch and let her herd cattle.

Winker was also an unremorseful thief, who would steal panties, bras, socks, and bandanas, then hide them in places where we might not find them for months. In fact, we didn’t find my wife’s red lace bra for three years, until we moved our refrigerator to make way for a new one.

When the girls entered their teens, the Winkerdog had to approve of any boyfriends. The smart ones would bring her a treat, which would get them fully approved.

Winker developed a heart murmur around age 9 and died 5 years later, 6 weeks after Daisy Ann. She is buried next to her.
