  2. There are way too many storys to tell. We have had this jeep since 1980. It is now strictly for deer camp. We got stuck. Notice the height of the jeep in the first pic and where the water comes to in the second. This is not the deepest hole we were in that day. I took this pic from a Toyota that sits higher than the jeep and we were stuck at that time too (in the same hole) It was a great weekend. The person driving the jeep was my father, who passed away a few months ago from cancer.
  3. My story is this. I got my daughter her first puppy as a Santa gift when whe was 2. It was a Sheltie. That was the year that pneumonia was going around real bad and taking so many lives. My daughter ended up with it about 5 days before christmas. She ended up running a real high fever and next thing I knew, she was not looking very good. So, Ipicked her up and started trying to get in touch with my wife at the time. While I was on the phone, she stopped breathing. I hung up the phone and called 911 while I rubbed her chest. I finally got her to spit up the gunk that was in her lungs and 911 sent the ambulance to the house. We got her to the hospital to find out that she had pneumonia. Needless to say, she did not feel very good on Christmas morning. She got her puppy and did not seem to be very excited about it. But that puppy just followed her around and stayed with her where ever she went. When she started feeling better, she really took to the puppy. We ended up naming him Prince Sandy. They formed a very stronge relationship. They were hardly seperated. Once, while we were at my mothers lake house, my daughter was standing at the top of the stairs with my niece. Now, there are around 15 steps down to a thinly carpeted concrete floor. Sandy was laying next to me on the couch down stairs. My daughter started to fall backwards down the stairs and Sandy jump off the couch and ran up the stairs. About half way up the stairs, he jumped and put all 4 paws on her back and made her fall the opposite way. I have never in my life seen a dog do anything like this. This dog was really something special. He would always stay close to us in unfenced yards or where ever we were. He never try to run away from us, especialy when my daughter was around. Later, my grandmother ended up in the hospital with cancer. We would go and see her on the weekends at the hospital. When she got real bad, we had to go and we couldn't take Sandy with us. We ended up having to board him at a vet because we could not find anyone that could watch him for during the week. Well, that turned out to be the worst mistake we ever made. When we went to pick him up, the person at the vets office left the side door to the office open and when she opened the cage door, Sandy bolted and ran. All of us, including my daughter, were in shock. We all called him and he would not stop. He ran across a busy freeway and into some woods. We jumped in the car and drove to the other side of the freeway and started calling him again. He would not come to us for some reason. We could sometimes get fairly close to him, but then he would just run away again. He even did this to my daughter, his best buddy in the world. We chased him and placed flyers for 3 days. Then we got a call that my grandmother had died. About 30 minutes later, we got another call. This time it was someone that had just seen Sandy get run over. They had seen our flyers and thought that he might be the dog that we were looking for. It was. We were all devistated. My daughter could not stop crying. I still have a felling that the vet may have done something to Sandy while he was in there care. They have been in court several times since then for similar things. It just was not like Sandy to act that way, especialy to my daughter. I figure that Sandy went to watch over my grandmother until my grandfather gets there with her. My father just recently passed away from cancer, so I am sure that they are all together now. We have since gotten 2 more Shelties. They too are very special and dear to us. We will never board them with anyone. They either go with us where ever we go or my mother babysits them for us. They are our best friends and family. I would not trade them for anything in the world. They are just like daughters to me and sisters to the kids. I often think that there is a little piece of Sandy in each one of them because of the way the each do certain things. By the way, my daughter is now 14. She still thinks of Sandy from time to time and it upsets her, but I guess that is to be expected. I know that my grandmother, my father and Sandy are always looking over us and I will one day see them all again. Thanks for listening.
