At about 17 years old, Rickie is still my constant companion. He adopted me in February 2014 when he was 5 1/2 years old. The Tampa Animal Shelter was going to do a mass euthanasia of dogs. Thank goodness the DUV Radio Station sponsored the dog adoptions. Rickie was my $20 dog.
We’re back in Florida, his home state for the rest of the winter. Rickie could barely go outside at Porte Photos. The snow was so thick and the cold was so cold his back legs would freeze up and not move.
Here at Sleepy Hollow, he’s like a puppy again. Rolling on his back, wagging his tail, joyfully hopping around, seeing his old friends….
But he still has to find the spot closest to where I am ❤
Time to book an appointment for a haircut. His winter style is too hot🔥
