"Dooge" was our neighbor for 10 years before her passing . She was the kindest . most thoughtful person ! She
spoiled our family in birthdays, Easter and Christmas with treats .
I remember one time when we were talking , she told me "The more I get to know people , the better I like my dogs " I assume she meant they were more faithful !
I will always remember this beautiful lady !!!

I lived in the same neighborhood as the Arnolds and the Jones. Dooge was beautiful inside and out. She always had a smile on her face.
