BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!!! Wait, isn’t that you and Osa in the second set?!😍😍😍, so awesome!🙏 So I’ve recently gotten in touch with Ingrid Gadpaille, she and I went to the same grade school in evergreen way before OLS. I think she did go there too, we’re catching up on the last 50+ years! Hahaha! Anyway I’ve been forwarding your quawpaz posts to her, small world!!!🤯🙄😳😘 Jen

Wonderful Jen! Thanks for sharing. Ingrid Gadpaille, that name sounds familiar... did she go to OLS also? Osa is the doggie making turnaround set of tracks on the sandbar (you can see my set next to hers). The other is a German shepherd that our friends Linda & Barbara named "Ruskey!" (Ruskey and I had a tug of war with stick. Ruskey won) Linda & Barb run an animal rescue shelter called "Mother's Grace" in Central Mississippi. They have another rescue shepherd they named "River" -- after my chief guide, Mark River.
