"RUGER" THE LITTLE DOG

What do I remember most about 2011?

How “Ruger” came to be a member of our family.

My spouse was taking a walk around the neighborhood when he heard what he thought was a child crying. He followed the menacing sound to where he found a little dog short-tied to a bush. He could not move at all and lay there crying.

Mike brought him home and the little dog quickly bit him in the hand. I thought to myself that if there was any chance of my keeping this little dog, it had swiftly passed. We tried to find the owner, to no avail, and then took him to the dog pound. When Mike got to the pound, he couldn’t turn the little dog over.

It is amazing how much a pet can improve one’s life!

Today, when I look back on it, it is as if he saved us; We didn’t save him.

I have enjoyed every minute with him.

When you think about 2011, what do you remember most?
