When we had a house fire, we had 3 dogs. They woke us up and we were out of the house before the smoke alarms went off. I may have told this story before. If so I apologize, but it helps to talk about him. We had him since he was 8 weeks old. 16 years is a long time. Our other dog keeps walking around and crying. I think he's looking for Joey. Thanks for listening.
