In Memorium of a wonderful friend to the entire family
Waldo
by Jerome Goldberg
When our beloved Wheaton Terrier, Rags, died, we were devastated.
I really didn't want to get another dog. But, I knew our children needed one. Yes! I said "needed", not "wanted". Having a loving dog in the house is better than having a resident psychologist or clergy.
So I visited the local ASPCA and walked pass the long row of cages filled with abandoned dogs.
Suddenly this humongous French Sheep Dog with floppy turned out paws leaped up on the cage gate and looked straight at me.
It was LOVE at first sight!
Waldo took care of us for thirteen wonderful years.

A dog is a friend, a brother, a sister, a son or a daughter. A dog will give you unconditional love. He or she will comfort you and encourage you and will change your life forever. May Waldo rest in peace and always be for a blessing.
