LADYBUG I and TUFFY
Not much stranger than seeing these two buddies together. LadyBug was Dad's first Beagle, and Tuffy was in between a long line of cats. Dad and Mom had retired when this picture was taken in the early 80's. They traveled all over this great and beautiful country in a fifth wheel trailer, and Mom drove the VW Camper Van for their short trips from where they parked the trailer and truck.
Tuffy would ride with Mom in the VW, and LadyBug would wrap herself between Dad's neck and the neck rest. When they pulled over, these two could not wait to campare notes! Tuffy was trained to a walking harness, and when Dad got LadyBug ready for her walks, Tuffy would more often than not be right there wanting to go with them. Which meant Mom had to go along to walk Tuffy. LadyBug loved the Tuffy, but was a bit put off if Dad handled her leash too.
The looks LadyBug recieved from fellow travelers who saw her as their cars went by were worth their weight in gold, but the looks the two of them got playing together, or walking together, or napping together were priceless.
Friends who can nap together, a few things better, but not many. Hope you enjoy the pic, sure brought back some fond memories.
