Spock the Dog

 Hello Everyone,

I hope your Spring is going well. I was walking around outside today and am starting to see Spring flowers. We have some daffadills and iris's blooming, and our RedBud is almost ready to burst in bloom. We haven't had a lot of snow this year, so I am wondering if that means we are going to have a hot summer, blah.

This is a young Spock, he was born April 5th... 18 yrs ago. He had these black lines over his eyes, kind of slanted, that looked like Spocks, from the USS Enterprise, eyebrows. So that is why we named him Spock. As he grew older, those black brows faded.



He was a stubborn, hard headed dog who only wanted to run around the neighbor and enjoy himself. He chased sheep, and encouraged our girl dogs to run off with him to raise havoc.

But he was a love too. He slept on the end of our bed, caught any mouse that dared to enter the house, stood by my dh's side thru his mending when he broke his legs and later when he had a heart operation.



He loved the snow, and would run and play in it as long as I would let him. He chased snowballs and buried his face in the snow trying to eat them.



We would take him up into the mountains with us, and he would run and chase deer and squirrels for hours.

My sweet Spock died today... on his 18th birthday. 

Rest in peace my sweet friend.

Thank you for stopping by.

Dorian
