[nagdu] 15th anniversary

[Lyn Gwizdak]

For those of you who have been on this list for over four years will 
remember my previous dog, Jacob.  He is still around and relatively healthy 
and turned 14 this past December. He's going deaf and blind but still plays 
a bit with his German shepherd friend at his current home.  He is still 
being spoiled rotten by his adoptive family! LOL!
