We don't know whether Skeeler was charged with watching over the
baby and allowing no Intruders, but It's tor sure that strangers probably
didn't approach this home on Lynne Lame last week when the dog was
at attention. Seven month old Amy Sines had toys', sunshine, and her
very own protector at her side. She's the daughter ot Rebecca and
Douglas Sines. *
