Dammit! I am driving up to South Dakota that day for a week’s vacation. :-( The reservations are all set. If I had known about this , I might have driven on July 5th or 6th and come back 2 days later.
Rin Tin Tin Ten?
A week ago Wednesday, we had to put down our 12 year old female GSD, Sammy. It was one of the hardest things I had to do. She was our 2nd one, and they are great dogs, very smart, very loyal. They always have that look on their faces: “What can we do now, and how soon can we do it?”
any photos of the original Rinty and the current one...
thanks, that’s the original, now about the current one....

Famous dog ping.
He was French you know—found on the battlefields of WW I by a US Doughboy and brought to Los Angeles. He was trained then in the 1920s made movies. He was one of the most successful silent actors of them all. He even has a star on the Walk of Fame on Vine Street. He died in 1932 in the Arms of Jean Harlow and is buried just outside of Paris at a famed pet cemetery. Rin Tin Tin was the name of a French Puppet popular in 1918.
