                                 Such Good Dogs . . .

           This is the continuing saga of Fluffy and Flossy, two canines caught in the new "sheltering-in-place" culture we now all share.  Today's installment illustrates the "new world" that our two pups have to adjust to.
                                                 Stay home.  Wash your hands!  Stay safe.

A note on the dog photos:  Yesterday's featured dogs were Jack, the greatest dog of all time (a 115 pound Black Labrador & my constant companion in Providence, Fairbanks, New Haven, and NYC for 12 years.) and Maxwell, the dumbest dog on God's green Earth (he was picked up as a stray in New Haven in the fall of 1969 and met his inevitable end on the Hutchinson River Parkway in 1975).  Today's dogs are Radar (on the left) --- who it is believed was Maxwell's offspring, spawned in Hamilton, New York in the spring of 1973.  I "inherited" Radar when my parents' sold the house my brother and I grew up in and moved to an apartment complex that didn't allow dogs.  She lived to be 17, passing away in 1990 in New York City (having lived in Port Chester, NY, Boston, MA, and NYC).  On the right today is the dearly departed Haley, who was "adopted" in August of 2012 when our Mom went into Assisted Living.  She grew up in Stroudsburg, PA, lived in NYC, and passed away in Norwalk, CT.

While I loved ,loved all my dogs, Jack truly was the greatest dog of all times. I know Haley died months ago...animal deaths sometime seem harder than human deaths...well..not exactly...but pretty damn hard. I have lost a menagerie of animals...many cats, three lovely dogs, a goat that I loved and a horse that was my companion. Ducks and geese and roosters --- oh my!...love your drawings.

I will always have a place in my heart for Maxwell.
