CLARIFICATION

Over on the right side of Inside is Bob's Corner where just for the heck of it I write an occasional column as I did in the SNH for about 15 years. I finished my story of World War II but like Forest Gump I still felt like running. Well my, I thought humorous, article this morning about dogs has already suffered an attack, one lady emphatically wrote that she likes dogs just as they are. I figure I must point out the truth. My wife and I have buried, over many years, Jaboff, Jigger, Skipper, Tina, another doxy, Sandy, and several cats. Our pet cemetery here in Suffolk is loaded with animals of all sorts, that belonged to us or our kids who live in the area. My oldest brother was the first Director of Leader Dogs For The Blind, headquartered in Rochester, Michigan. At that facility, when we left that state there were 14 trainers and over a hundred dogs in training. That school was started in the forties.And is sponsored by Lions Clubs all over the country. There were constant rejects and we found homes for many of them. We have known and loved animals since our marriage 64 years ago. But I would redesign the noisy pets.
