Tom I can still remember the day (1982) you picked up "Jackson", the first puppy from my schneuzers Jack and Lucy. He was dancing under your legs, and hopping all over you. He loved you, and I knew you loved him. I knew then that our first puppy would be well taken care of. You were always a part of our family, through good and bad. I have'nt seen you for awhile, but will never forget you, may you rest in Peace.
