"She bought a dog"

This seems like a strange to mention in one of the introductory paragraphs of her life. I'm not seeing the significance of it, nor do I see a dog mentioned anywhere else in the article. I'm removing this line for now.--The Ninth Bright Shiner 23:09, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

excessive repetition of the term "Lady Bird"

The article contains it 167 times, often in subsequent sentences. Surely it could be replaced by "she" from time to time at least. 77.6.38.26 (talk) 11:44, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
