Bucci
I had a dog when I was young, a pug dog named Bucci. My Uncle Joe wanted to breed pug dogs, so he
invested into a beautiful black pug that he and his wife Margaret had named Martha's Madame Chang. We all called
her Chang, and she was eccentric. Chang became a proud mother, and our Bucci, a mixed black and fawn pug
was her first daughter. Bucci wasn't as crazy as Chang. I loved her, but I don't think
the feelings were mutual. She wouldn't let me read. Bucci chewed up my books, and she would trot over
to me and sit upon the newspaper whenever I spread the folios out on the floor. I miss Bucci. She was
my one and only dog.
This cute pug gif is from the Pug Club of America http://www.pugs.org . Many years ago my Aunt Margaret had served that organization's executive body.
When I was 3 years old, my grandfather gave me my first pets: a
bowl of guppies. Daddy had the chore of cleaning the fish bowl, because I was too little. One
day, I fed my fish, and Daddy spilled the contents of the fish bowl into the toilet. Then I had to say good-bye to the
guppies that were on their way to the river to swim with lots of other fish.
