12. It's great you had a dog playmate as a child.

I didn't, since we were a military family and moved around a lot. The only dog I kind of knew was Jo-Jo, a german shepherd guard dog who scared the daylights out of me by lunging and barking every time we walked anywhere near him. I was afraid of dogs until I was around 12 and got to know some friendly ones.

My great-granddaughter is a year older now. Here she was last summer.

The dogs love her and would sleep in bed with her if they’d all fit.
