I dug deep into the vault for these two photos today. Both are from August 1967. The first is a photo of our dog Ceaser. He was our second dog after a St. Bernard named Bruno. If you read “Identity Crisis” you will know I borrowed the name and used it for a police dog.

Next is a photo of my sister Holly and me with Samantha, another basset hound that we got after Ceaser.

Unfortunately, it is the only photo I have of Samantha. We didn’t have her long when we came home one evening and discovered the door was not closed properly and both dogs escaped the house. Ceaser came back and was waiting for us by the front door. We never saw Samantha again. I like to think a nice person found her and gave her a home.
