"I struck a match to light my pipe. As I did, two beautiful cups gleamed from the mantle. I held the match up so I could get a better look. There they were, sitting side by side. One was large with long, upright handles that stood out like wings on a morning dove. The highly polished surface gleamed and glistened with a golden sheen. The other was smaller and made of silver. It was neat and trim, and sparkled like a white star.
I got up and took them down. There was a story in those cups- a story that went back more than a half century.
As I caressed the smooth surfaces, my mind drifted back through the years, back to my boyhood days. How wonderful the memories were. Piece by piece the story unfolded."
Do you remember this book from your childhood? Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. Many remembers the story of Billy, Old Dan and Little Ann. Everyone has a story about their favorite pet, and I would like to thank the many people who shared with me those stories after reading about our dog Oliver.
We would also like to thank Dr. Baillie form the Cedar Pet Clinic for thinking of trying a new cancer medication on Oliver after the U of M told us the operation was his only answer. Oliver seems to be a new dog! We have to cath him every day, but other than that he is himself again.
