Favorite Pets
I’m not really picking a favorite – that would be too hard. But the dog pictured, Grover, whom we had in Fiji certainly was memorable for many good reasons. A fiji hound! He was full of fun – we loved him and he loved us.

Beautiful Mollie
This beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback sat next to me at the Barking Dog Ale House here in Ballard.

3 August – It was very chilly on the midnight to 4 am watch. The sea was very rough. All hands were up for sunrise General Quarters at 4:30 am. We were to refuel the destroyers today but could not because of the condition of the ocean.
