Many years ago I was given a book that was really old. I am no longer in possession of the book and I was hoping that some people out there would be able to help me figure out the title. I don't remember the author or when it was written.
Here's what I do know:
1) The book was a children's book but it was for older children. There were few pictures in it and the pictures were colored. The book itself probably wasn't more than 100 pages.
2) There were various stories in the book but they all centered around the main characters.
3) What I remember from the plot is that there was an older woman who lived by herself on a farm on a hill with many different pets and animals. The animals could talk. The woman had a small dog (I think that it was a black Pekingese) and then she adopted another Pekingese. When she did this the black Pekingese would sing a song that I think contained the lyrics "Sing dog, ming dog" or it could have been "Sing dog, song dog." This black Pekingese was very possessive.
4) I assume that it was written between the 1960s and 1980s.
So if anyone has any idea what book this was or a way to help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate the help.
I did try Googling it but I wasn't able to find anything that was of major help for my search.
