| A story regarding Duchess, Beulah's dog in Daniels - WV - My family visited in summer of 1970. During the visit, my brother and I started calling the dog "Sammy" (I think this was a joke on my sister, who was interested in a guy named Sammy at the time). A year later my Grandmother called my father and said.. tell Alan that Sammy had Pups! Later my father visited and picked on of the pups, 1/2 Beagle and 1/2 Spitz, and that dog became the family pet for many years. Sammy lived a long life for a dog and died about 14 years later, living with the Alan Beard family. |
