Mackerel

This is Mackerel the Dog, a Side Kick to my character Preston Howell .
Mackerel is a small White Yapppy-dog, with a red collar
Preston Howell is a veteran of
*the Night Stalkers GURPS game of the 1980's;
*the DII Game of the 1980's,
*Carol's Aborted Spokane Came of the mid 1990s
*And Vista City
Mackerel has been his side kick since he was made.  Isn't that  bit old for a dog?  Yes, but the date he acquires her keeps slipping so she stays in play
Why Mackerel? I dunno.  It sounded cute at the time.  She seems to like it.
