Breaking News...sadly; Rest in Peace, Gizmo.

Gizmo, who lived and brought happiness to a wonderful family from Texas, passed away at almost 15 years of age. He was a smaller breed of collie. His human boy, Tim, is the son of our dear friends who visit us whenever they are in the area and have time. Gizmo was his boyhood puppy-dog companion. The photo above is pinched from a notice on FB; it shows Gizmo in his younger days, a handsome and fluffy little collie. I only met Gizmo the one time, during a visit to Texas a couple of years ago; he was slowing down at bit, but just as handsome. There are some very funny stories about the pup; but this is not the time. If every dog and child in the world received the same perfect care and nurture as little Tim and his friend, Gizmo, what a wonder place the world would be! Sympathy.
