Over the years of our childhood, we had many pets. The most beloved of all was our Schnappsie, a mixed dashhound. The story goes that Lynn and Pam went for a walk to the drugstore, located on Rhode Island Avenue, (a very busy highway). Schnappsie followed them and ran out into the highway and was run over by a semi truck. The truck driver backed up to see what he could do to help. Pam was so upset, she kept yelling at the man that he had killed her dog. None of us are sure how Schnappsie got back to our house. We think the semi truck driver helped. This special little dog was buried in our back yard, as were other pets that followed.
Pam and her friend Kathleen had a conversation shortly after that day as to whether either of them had seen Schnappsie floating up to heaven; after all that is what happen in cartoons.
A special spot in our back yard was designated as the resting place for other pets; such as kittens, a bird and a hamster.
