But I'd do this all over again, even if I knew I'd have Randy only for a short time. I don't think there is anything to match the joy and hope and love you get from an old dog. Contributed by Jan Hilborn, northern Vermont. We have been together since he was 3 months old, and he is a real sweetheart. I also have his sister, Lil' Missi, and his son, Lotta' Spirit.
Rascal is a true hero.
He saved Missi's life. I was in the driveway washing the car, and they were inside the fence watching me. Suddenly, Rascal started barking very loudly, which is out of character for him, and running back and forth along the fence. I couldn't imagine what he had seen to make him carry on in such a manner. His persistence made me go into the yard, and, as soon as I did, he ran to the side of the house where the pool was.
