My dear old Vicky...

This is a picture of my beautiful 8 year old dog VICKY. She is a mutt basically; a mix of Pekinese and Chihuahua. She is adorable and she loves the ground we walk upon. She is truly man's best friend. There have been many close calls in which we thought we'd lost her, and she even survived the infamous disappearance of Jimmy, our then 8 year old dog from Puerto Rico. It was June 1999, setting was Chicago, Illinois, time 6:30AM... My mother woke up and took the dogs outside, went back inside to put on some pants, and when she went outside to call on the dogs, only Vicky returned. We searched for Jimmy for days and days and it still baffles us that a dog could disappear in 3 1/2 minutes. Who knows whatever happened to him!!! But Vicky returned because she loves me.
