George Jackson asked Michael J. Sullivan:

You make so many great jokes and puns about dogs. I was wondering if you had any and if so what kind they are?

Michael J. Sullivan Hey George. A great question!

Yes, I've had dogs most of my adult life. My mom wasn't a big fan and the few times we tried to get a dog she put an end to it.

My most recent dog was Tobi. A rescue dog that was "mostly" American Foxhound, but also seemed like he might have some greyhound in him. Unfortunately, he passed in March (something we are still grieving over). He lived a good life, 11 years, and the last few were on our "land in the valley" which provided amble room for running around and also the opportunity to bark at cows to "brush them back" from roadsides and our fence line - something he enjoyed immensely.

Right now we have Ruth at our house. She is technically a 'Grand puppy' as she is owned by my daughter, but she spends a lot of time with me and Robin. She is also a rescue dog hound and as I said a puppy - so she woke me up late last night to go out. She sleeps too much during the day!! Something we are trying to reverse.

Before Tobi as Penny - a rescue dog that was mostly labrador but also some other things as she was quite small. Before her was Dutchess - a Cocker Spaniel.
