National Dog Day August 26th

I don't talk much about my dogs. Although it seems I've had countless cats, I only ever had 3 dogs and they never seemed to have a happy ending. The first one was a beagle. It was so long ago I forgot its name. I didn't have it very long and it got sick. My parents took him to the vet and the diagnosis was that he was poisoned. The vet said his digestive tract was virtually jelly. My parents probably had it euthanized.

A few years later, I was given a wire-haired fox terrier for my 8th birthday. I named him Ruffy. We had him about 5 years, but he bit everyone that came on our property - milkman, paper boy and even people passing in the street. I believe my parents were forced to get rid of him because of insurance liability. My mom really liked that dog - she was upset for days after my dad took him to the shelter.

My last dog was a Scottish terrier, Sir Duffy O' Ben Nevis. Fairly well behaved except that he like to chew on things as a puppy. Had him 8 years and he got some sort of cancer. We had him euthanized.
