From time to time, this comes up again, but the spelling of the DOGS' HOME has the apostrophe AFTER the S, not between the G and S. Thus it is not the home belonging to just one DOG, but it is a home for multiple DOGS, and so it belongs to them all.
I have typed in these texts by hand (not scanned) and of course they are subject to my own errors. This little error suggested that I do a scan for "dog's" and sure enough, found one in that incorrect format. Fixed it on my master copy. Other places had the proper "Dogs'" for which I was pleased that I had gotten them right. Amazing that when I go through these types texts, again and again, I still discover little oops and have to make typo type corrections. Hard to get it completely correct, but at least, progress in that direction is being made.
Actually, I am glad that the previous entry in the FORUM had this little error in it, as it had me check out my own carelessness.
Together, we help each other arive at a better understanding of all things Ransome.
