During one of the brief moments that my mom was able to hold me captive today (she had the nerve to make me sit beside her on the couch!), she told me about a time 10 years ago (when great great grandpa Artus was young!) when Tina, Bobby and she travelled to Long Island to do the puppy evaluation of a very special litter and Bobby came home with Shelby2. Shelby2 was Bobby's special dog and she went over the rainbow bridge (whatever that is) just before Bobby turned 21 earlier this year. 
She also told me about Adam, who was her dog to end all dogs. Adam was everything I'm not - calm, a good companion, very obedient, willing to please...Adam came home from Oregon on July 4, 2000. He and Shelby2 were great friends and he went across the rainbow bridge looking for her and never came back. I gotta remember to stay away from that bridge!
My mom said that I have a lot to live up to but that I'm a very special girl with Shelby2's spark and Adam's great intelligence.
I'm still trying to imagine great great great great grandpa Artus being young.
