      DEDICATION

      Once in a lifetime, if you are lucky, you are blessed with a special companion who changes your life and brings you great joy, that was Simmer.

      A very special dog indeed!

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      Special thanks to Carleen Short for her friendship over the years and support and insight in editing this book; to Terry Wilson for encouraging me to finish this project and finally to my husband for sensing the magic of Simmer which has enabled me to share his story with you

      Chapter 1

      Life is an adventure, or so they say. In my case it was a truly big adventure. It is also said that life is not always fair; well I can certainly vouch for that. But, in my case, what a life I have had!

      As I lounged in the shade under the awning one hot summer day it occurred to me that I had a pretty good recollection of my life and adventures and with the help of my journals, diaries and of course my photo albums I should share my life and the events that shaped it. I was not getting any younger and if I did not do it now, well, frankly, it just would not get done.

      I thought there might just be an audience who would enjoy my stories, so why not compile them into an autobiography. So that is just what I did.

      My story begins when I found myself on the street. I had just been pushed out of a pickup truck by the man who had been taking care of me since I was born. Into the street I went with no more thought than garbage dropped in a trash can. In fact, it all happened so fast, I had no time to react.

      One minute I was inside the truck, and the next minute I was outside watching the truck drive away. I found myself out in the cold; sleet was falling and my coat was very, very wet. It is amazing how quickly your life can change. I tried to run after the truck but it was just too fast, eventually I gave up.

      I don’t seem to remember how I got myself in this predicament, in fact, I don’t remember too much before I got dumped on that street. What I do remember is that I had brothers and sisters I played with in a small room and of course, I must have had parents. Other than that, my life was a blank page.

      I was unwanted! Why me? Why didn’t the man want me? Why didn’t he love me? Where were, my brothers and sisters? What had I done wrong? I had no answers for all these questions.

      All alone, for the first time in my short life, I had to depend on only me. I quickly realized that there was no home, no family and nowhere to go.

      The fall weather was brutal; I thought I would never get warm. Although my situation was not good, I realized that I was determined to go on with life. Somehow, I believed I was special and I had no choice but to move forward.

      Why, move forward you wonder? Well, I felt that everything
