I loved that he would wait for me to come home outside by where I parked my car. I would start barking a pouncing at my arrival. I would tell him to run to the back door as I entered the front door and he would take off as if he was trying to beat me.
The other memory I have is taking Winston on runs. He would try so hard to keep up with me, but at his old age we would end up walking home, because he couldn't run anymore.
I think winston is a closet homosexual. he absolutely loved the affection that gus gave him every trip to pocatello. gus will, without a doubt, miss winston. on the other hand, i won't.
What a great dog. I'll never forget the time when Cory and I were house sitting/ teenage sitting and I was holding this gadget that had buttons on it. I was pushing them, the dogs suddenly dissapeared and were nowhere to be found. Kimberly look over and yelled you're shocking the dogs. Ooops! Maybe I was the one who caused Thors wetting problem.
I too will miss Winston. I'm sure that Pip will also if she every makes to Pocatello again (she's 18 years old).
I remember the time Winston greeted me when I arrived for a visit by promptly raising his leg and peeing on my purse when I laid it on the floor. Oh well, that was Winston. (Or maybe it was Thor)
Winston slept with me everynight
and kept my feet warm - I am not
an animal lover, but I will miss
Winston. He was a much better
dog after Thor left. MOM
