Here’s a first look at my first dog, a boxer named Pepper. I can never remember a time when we did not have a dog or cat around the house.
The other photo shows Dad’s pipe collection. I can still remember the distinct aroma of his pipe tobacco. He sometimes took me to the smoke shops where he purchased his tobacco and new pipes.
The third photo is of the backyard of the home we lived in briefly on Golden Gate Ave in Dos Palos. We moved to Oro Loma when I was just two so I don’t have any memories of this home, just the photos.
