Our beloved Golden Rottie, Udo, was euthanized last weekend. In honor of him and his adopted brothers who went before, Harpy and I are tallying up a donation pool for the Stephens County Humane Society, where they all came from!

Found under a shipping container at a rocket factory. His rescuer couldn't keep him, so she reached out to other folks at work and my wife saw his little face and answered.
