Teddy and I so enjoyed visiting Louise. She would often cry and as he moved closer to her, she would bury her face in his fur. Then she would tell us stories of her childhood and her constant desire for a dog of her own. I'm so glad that I was able to connect with her and her daughter for a short time. Finding out that she and her family lived on my grandfather's farm was just icing on the cake.
