I’ve been slowly scanning old photos and moving them to an acid-free scrapbook. (This goes so slowly because there is nothing I hate more than putting stuff in the scrapbook. Except maybe killing bugs.) This particular one serves as proof that I’ve always been a dog person and always had articulated toes. That’s Starbuck, named after the hero of the original series. He and a rough collie named Sparky were my first dogs. They were awesomely patient, very empathetic creatures.
