My beloved doggies and 15 year companions, Minstrel & Paul. Both passed away in 2002. On many work tapes, I hear them barking in the background. I miss them very much.

Minnie & Paul on the porch at the old pad. They were inseparable, and so were we.

After Minstrel & Paul passed, there came Yankee, my new sweetie!! (2003)

Yankee's first gig

Yankee needed a bud, so along came Rebel in 2005!
