When I think about the dogs in my life, the list usually goes like this: Jock, Sally, Abbie, Maggie. There was a fifth dog, however, even if she was only mine for a week in 1986.

When I was seventeen, I talked my parents into letting me get a dog of my own. We went to the pound and I picked this cute little
tricolored girl pup who I named Megan.

Unfortunately, Megan was not as healthy as she looked. I'd had her less than a week when she started vomiting water. We took her to the vet and were told that she had
Parvo. We'd caught it early, so they thought there was a chance that she might survive. She didn't, though.

Poor Megan. Poor Jennifer.

Look at her paws. She would've been huge. The end of Megan was the end of the doghouse for Jock, too. He never set foot in it again.
