Small Old Dogs

I'm taking a liking to small old dogs. I think they're dramatically underrated.
My friend Erika has a twelve-year-old dog named Skipper (Chihuahua mix) whose is bow-legged and suffers from arthritis. Yet this dog has an endearing, Yoda-like spirit that creates calmness in any room. I say....HOORAY for those little old dogs with ancient souls.

Fidel... that's what my dad and his cronnies called my little Dude. He was about 17-18 when he died two years ago.

RIP, my little furry friend:
Dude, My Island Dog, true ophan of the storm
