28 Years ago Jan 15,1985!

Thanks Dad,for the yummy cake (rosette) :) I remember well the day we met 28 years ago today. A few people were walking down the center isle between the 2 rows of cages at Bucks County SPCA. It was a cold January day,so all the dogs were inside. You walked past my cage and I briefly licked your finger as you stuck it thru my cage. I`m sorry to say that it was only a "lukewarm" lick as you continued on past me as so many others had done in the 2 months that I had been there. BUT THEN YOU CAME BACK! The kennel attendant opened my cage door and handed you the leash. I pulled you frantically down the corridor towards the door. PLEASE,LET`S GET OUT OF HERE! We went outside on the grass where we practiced some simple commands. Then after filling out the adoption papers,we were off in your car. I was thrilled to be going home with you! My first walk at Washington Crossing State Park that day is forever etched into my memory. It was the first of our many adventures together. We shared many day hikes in the Pocono mountains and I was with you on our first trips out West. When you first began overnite backpacking,I was thrilled to share the experiences with you. In 1994,we took our very first Alaska trip together. Thanks,Dad,for all the fun times. I know that there are more to come!

Forever,

My Birthday!

Yesterday,Jan 15,was the anniversary of my adoption. Dad adopted me from the BUCKS COUNTY SPCA on Jan 15 1985 and that was the beginning of a new life for me! In the 10 years that we were together,Dad and I travelled to many wonderful places. He would take me to the pocono mts once a week for day hikes and there were some nice lakes there that we would swim in on warm summer days. Later,when Dad began backpacking in the early 90`s,I was with him for his first overnite trips camping out in a tent. Overnite backpacking was a new adventure for both of us and we explored new areas of the Appalacian Trail together. We went to the Grand Canyon and California several times and I was along for Dad`s first trip to Alaska in 1994. We had a wonderful life together,but all good things must come to an end and I parted foom my Dad when I crossed the Rainbow Bridge in Oct 1995. Thanks for the wonderful times,Dad,one day we can do all these things and more when we are reunited!

SPCA Memorial

Woofs from across the Rainbow Bridge,
Dad adopted me from a shelter,and thus has always been predisposed to donate to help other shelter dogs. Recently while volunteering at the Pennsylvania SPCA,he was pleasantly surprised to discover a glass block with his and my names on it. Apparently,he had made a donation to the SPCA many years ago to have this glass block inscribed. My Dad had completely forgotten that he had made this donation and was very happy to see this block with our names on it! Dad took me on many wonderful adventures in the years I spent with him,adventures that wouldn`t have been quite the same without a dog along,proving that rescued shelter dogs make great pets! I would urge all who may read this to adopt your next pet from an animal shelter!

My first trip to Island Beach!

In March of 1990,my Dad took me to Island Beach State Park in New Jersey. This is a scenic spot where sand dunes and even maritime forests are present on the beach. We strolled the beach on this brisk late winter day,and I had a great time here. The last 3 photos on my page illustrate this little adventure,one of many that I enjoyed with my Dad during my earthly life!

A trip to the Grand Canyon!

Woofs! As a doggie angel here across the Rainbow Bridge I get to travel to many exotic places. My brother,Butch,and Bridge pal,Dekker,just got back from a trip to the Grand Canyon. We hiked the Tonto trail which follows a plateau in Grand Canyon and has lots of nice views. We then hiked down to the Colorado River for a refreshing swim! I love exploring with my Bridge pals!!

Trips to California

When I was with my Dad back on Earth, we would take a trip out west once a year. Dad and I liked to hike in the Grand Canyon and then we would drive on to California. Dad changed my primary photo to one showing me at the Golden Gate bridge in Oct,1990. It was taken from the Golden Gate National Recreation area across the bay from San Francisco.

I miss my Dad,but when he arrives here someday we`ll have many more nice trips together!

Kayaking with my pup-pals

Woofs from across Rainbow Bridge!

My Dad is taking his current dog,Smiley, on a hiking trip down to Shenandoah Park in Virginia this week. I decided to gather up my pal,Dekker,and brother Butch and head out for a kayaking trip. The Florida Keys seemed like a nice destination ,so off we went!

Alan Shepard`s golf ball

After recieving the OK from the TOP DOG, my new pup-pal Dekker and I journeyed back to the moon in search of Alan Shepard`s golf ball. We borrowed one of the lunar rovers that the astronauts left behind and set off in search of it. It was thrilling zooming over the cratered surface of the moon in the rover. We took turns driving and after several hours Dekker let out a joyus bark. Lo and behold there it was sitting in the lunar dust---the golf ball that Al Shephard hit on the moon back in 1971. We snapped a few photos of it,then picked it up and sped off. Dekker and all of my doggie pals are really enjoying ourselves here across rainbow bridge where many amazing journeys are posssible!!

A celestial journey with my Pup-Pal

Woof,
My Pup-Pal Dekker from Monterey Bay,CA. wanted to accompany me on one of my space trips. We met up with each other here across Rainbow Bridge. We`re able to travel to many exotic places in our new lives as doggie angels,so I said "Sure Dekker,I`ll be happy to take you along on my next moon trip. But please don`t pee on Neil Armstrong`s footprints. NASA is sensitive about that!"

As you can see,we`re both wearing our space helmets in the photo.

An out of this world trip

Hi,

My brother,Butch,decided to visit the Iditarod Race in Alaska this year, so I decided to do something adventurous as well. I borrowed a space helmet from Laika (the Russian dog who crossed over rainbow bridge after perishing aboard sputnik 2) and blasted off for the moon.

Thats one giant leap for dogkind!
