Schotzie
My Mother and her dog, Schotzie with a picture of my Mother and Father imposed on the bottom.
My Mother loved animals, all animals and all of nature — from a beautiful beach to a scurrying chipmunk. Growing up, whenever possible, we would have a dog, but she also fed the birds, loved at least a couple of cats, and yes, we even had a turtle for awhile. She also always loved my pets, cared for them as I did, found comfort in them, as I did, and greeted them with such great joy. We would often take Merry to visit Mother in the hospital; Merry made Mother smile, and Mother would pet Merry till she fell asleep happily.
Our family dog, Curly, and pet turtle, which yes we on occasion called Turly — God bless them all
