We got a new dog

Comment:

I bet you love the books you’ve created and I bet you want to write more about Shiloh, do you? I just got a new dog and his name is St.Louis. We called him that because my grandfather lived and died there, and the explanation for that is he was the best relative I have ever known. He died this summer of 2017.

I love the name you gave your dog, and I’m sure your grandfather would have been pleased.  I still remember the day my dad came home with a dog we called Pepper.  She was just a little thing, and cried at night until my brother gave her his teddy bear, and then she snuggled up to it and went to sleep.
