Thank you for posting such a lovely comment! I agree with you…it was a different day when Nig was named, and it certainly wasn’t his fault that they called him that!

Your dogs sound like great fun and they are very lucky to live in your home. I, too, have two four-legged assistants and they are very good at the hard work of napping and keeping me company.

Have a great trip…

We are coming to visit the Dam and “NIG” the Dam Dog Owner on Jan. 25th, 2023.
I have read this inspirational story about the typical Dog in America. Sounds like my dog a little bit. Her Name is “Liberty”, She was born on July 3rd. she can be found on her Facebook site. Liberty Orloff @ Facebook. She too goes to work with me and loves it. She’s very sad when I can’t take her sometimes.
“Cujo” our Male Dog is a very vocal and growling, grumpy Old Man of a Dog. Cujo is All Black with White Not typical for these Dogs. He even has one white toenail on each of his Paws, Yes White. I have never seen such a thing the rest are Black. White inside his Mouth and the toe of the paw pad is white, only one on each paw. The rest are to also black. He’s like the black sheep or Dog in this case. It’s Our 10th Anniversary and look forward to seeing ” NIG’s” Memorial and Plaque. We will post photos of “Nig” on Liberty’s site. This will be a thank you to the People who stood up and had the Plaque returned. Also, to the loving Workers who took the little puppy in to raise him. May God bless Man’s Best Friends, other Than My Beautiful Wife and Best Friend.
