• Dog Show

  Hubby is watching the dog show on TV so I thought I would show you a picture of our favorite dog.

  

  This is Mindy. She was young when we got her, but not a puppy. We were looking for another dog, and I answered an ad in the paper. She was already named, house-broken, and apparently had been taught a couple of tricks. She always met everyone at the front door with one of her toys in her mouth. She also smiled, but I don't think that was learned. She just did it on her own. She was very good about sleeping in her cage on our enclosed back porch. The vet said she was a schnauzer mix. We think she was part poodle, because she didn't shed. She was a curly dog, and had to be groomed once in awhile. She was medium sized, but I don't remember what she weighed.

  I've also forgotten how long we had her, but a good long time. When she got older, her eyesight went, and she would run into things. Once I left the dishwasher door open, and she went running around the house,
  through the kitchen as usual, and hit the dish-washer door. Hard. I felt so bad.

  Finally we had to have her put to sleep. It's always hard to lose a good friend.
