Back in 1996 we were new grandparents. Savannah was just 5 months old that Christmas. We lived in Harwood North Dakota…Savannah lived with her parents up in Buxton North Dakota.
We decided that she should have a little red wagon for Christmas.
Here I am showing G’Day Mate that the wagon is not big and scary. Usually I could talk those Shelties into just about anything. ( Yes I have my jammies on…a big nightshirt and a pair of sweatpants….real stylish.)
Moses, G’Day Mate and Captain
This photo hangs in our home. G’Day Mate or “Mate” and Captain were litter mates….Captain was the runt and I struggled to keep him alive…I slept next to the whelping crate and had him nurse every two hours. His litter mates were fat and sassy and he was just a little guy. Moses is their father….at the time this photo was taken their Mother Miss Misty had died from pancreatitis earlier that year. We missed her that Christmas….truth be told I still miss her…I miss all of them. They were wonderful companions…they followed me everywhere…Moses was my protector.
Eventually Savannah showed up and rode around the house in her wagon. Her Auntie Jen pulled her around and around from the living room through the hall into the dining room/kitchen and back into the living room…with dogs following her.
