As for names for Dobies, we took in rescue Dobies for
over 30 years. And when we got them we could not let
them go, so at times had from one to three big fur kids
living mostly in the house with us and the kids.
First was Kurt, the best dog who ever lived, bar none.
He and black, half Siamese Zabo lived together at the vets
when we were on vacation.
Then huge, perfect show type Hilda, who was very dim witted,
but we loved her anyway. She and the cat Warlock were
always caged together at the vets when we went on vacation,
to the horror of the vet!!! When cats were caged with the wrong
friend, they retreated to the back of the cage and firmly showed
their displeasure by turning their rears to the amused veterinarian.
Then there were Hans, Hidi, Marta, Thor, and darling Gertrude,
"Trudy" who was the sweetest darling ever.
Our fur kids are now long gone, and all I have are two rescue cats,
thrown away as kittens, Koko in CA and Fredrica in Texas during
a raging rain storm.
