Can we keep him?

I have only the vaguest memories of when we got Jock. I remember Colleen calling me to the front door. She said "Come see this man's cute dog". Since he's in the house, I would guess this picture was taken that day or very shortly thereafter. The date on it is February 1973.
This is Jock and I in July 1973. I guess this is where James gets it from...

the picture with all three of us might have been taken on christmas eve and mom just didn't get the negatives developed until later.

Ask dad about the guy who brought over the dog - I believe it was a co-worker who dad later fired... but not because of the dog.

I didn't remember that we got him at Christmas time. I'll ask mom and dad and edit the post. I'm trying really hard to get dates right but it's hard! Nearly half the pictures I have are undated...

I think a lot of pictures are "february" because she would save the film from all our birthdays and christmas to get developed at once.

The more I think about it, the more certain I am it was xmas eve. The way I recall it is that dad had told the guy NOT to bring us a dog, and he did anyway. Counting on the fact that there was no way a man could send a puppy away on that dats without ruining the next ten christmasses for his daughters.

Mom, are you reading this? Am I right or wrong?
