Years ago, Mrs. Lando and I took on a Rat Terrier that was too high strung for my elderly parents. Daisy. Daisy has been gone for some years now and I still grieve over her loss. Our Barney was like that (Collie/Shepard). Others too... Sadie, Lincoln, Clarence, Tigerlily, Butkus. Now we share our lives with Maddie, Louie and Bella. Yep, pets are special.
