I remember when my dog used to break into Mrs. Sara's yard across the street and would run around for hours, after he got tired he would go to her fish pond to get a drink of water, Mrs. Sara would come out and tell me that my dog was eating here fish...... I remember telling her "my dog doesn't like fish" She was such a sweet lady and will be missed.
