Now that I have decided to continue my “Mosaic of Life” posts, I need to fill in some blanks. The Basset Hound on the leach is Beulah. She had a fenced in yard that she roamed unleashed, but she did also love to explore other territories. She was my last pet, and my second favorite. (Sam, who was a dachshund, was my first personal pet was my first.)

When Beulah and I were having our “outside the yard” adventure, Rocky would frequently show up. Rocky was a Pitbull and one of the sweetest of all Beulah’s friends. He lived about three doors down, which was a quarter of a mile down the road. I don’t know how he knew we were doing our thing, but he frequently showed up to say hi.
