27. A very sweet tribute...

Sun Jan 27, 2013, 12:09 PM

Jan 2013

I remember every dog I've ever had since early childhood, even when I can't remember people or events. My first dog was a lab named Sandy. Then Dusty (mutt), Ginger (Irish Setter), Gallo (Sheltie) and Scudsy (chi-weenie), Knuckles (bulldog-boxer, and the hardest loss to bear). We now have Draper (vizsla-boxer), Tito (mess of an epileptic mutt), and Machete (sweet, tiny Chihuahua). The last 5 on the list are/were rescues.
