My new grand-puppy! I have had pets for as long as I can remember — black cat named Midnight that died suspiciously; a dog named Duchess with the prettiest blue eyes; too many hermit crabs to count; a few fish along the way, and two hamsters that made more hamsters, one of whom then ate said baby hamsters.
Aurora There was a dog named Chamomile who herded me up and down our too-narrow staircase, and a dog named Tellulah who was somehow always more than I could handle, and a cat named Spencer who never seemed to really like me.
Now I have two dogs. One is Walter, a distinguished gentleman of 17 years who is part Cairn terrier and part Chihuahua, blind, deaf.
and suffering from dementia. But he still loves a good scratch behind the ears and a slow walk through the neighborhood. The other is a chiweenie named Aurora.
