Thanks for ...Bob: I remember that story about Bart. Thanks for reminding me. He was a good housemate, wasn't he? He and Stormy's dog were mortal enemies, though. What was his name? Joe? They got into some fights. I was distraught when Bart disappeared from my parents' house in Daytona. Chris and I had just moved to Denver and were trying to get an apartment or house that allowed pets. Bart's downfall was climbing fences to get out of the backyard. And he would jump right into a car if you invited him to. Never known a dog who loved car rides so much.

But glad you gave a shelter dog a great life.And I think Annie will remember her always. <br /><br />My mom was in from Chicago this weekend and somehow the conversation wandered to one of the coolest dogs that ever walked this earth-Bart.She remembered that my older brother Bruce complained about picking up fleas when he came to visit the house in Gainesville. Fleas never bothered me so I figured he was just whining. <br /><br />One regret I have is that I have no pictures of Bart. You were a good housemate, but Bart was a great housemate. He followed me to the mini-mart one day, walked up to a biker sitting on his very nice bike, and proceeded to pee on his front wheel while we both watched. As I watched my life flash in front of me and mumbled an apology, the biker said "don't worry about it.". That is how cool of a dog Bart was. I still miss him.<br /><br />So take comfort in knowing you have been a dad to some great dogs. It is a measure of the man and the dog how much it hurts to bid them goodbye.<br /><br />Bob<br /><br />RobertPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759559269928686204noreply@blogger.com
