Foto Finish : Pets

First I have to admit that we've not been Mom & Dad to any pets in many many years, but we have been Aunt and Uncle to many.



I want you to meet George. When George first showed up at our house he didn't have tags so we named him George and that name stuck even after we learned that his real name was Marlow.  We became a regular stop on his rounds in the neighborhood.  He came by early in the morning and would stand at the window until we saw him and if he had to wait to long he would let out one bark.  He'd have his treat and then some times he'd wander on or he's just hang out for a while.  Sometimes he would surprise us and come by in the afternoon and would be waiting when we came home from work. He was not one for playing, running after a ball held no interest for him.  He came for love and petting and of course dog treats.



 

George is no longer with us.  For over 15 years he was our visiting sweetheart.

  2. He looks absolutely sweet!! What a special dog he was to spread that love of his around the neighborhood. I'm sure you'll never forget George or how wonderful he was.
