My dog Sam
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I just found a picture of the Yorkshire Terrier dog Sam my parents had until I was a little kid, when he had to be put down because of diabetes. I have very vague memories of him (after all I was only 1 1/2 when he died), but he was a very hyperactive dog. He used to love thunderstorms - unlike most pets who like to seek shelter, he used to beg at the back door howling to the thunder until he would be let outside and dash around the garden trying to chase the lightning! My uncle found him as a stray just after my parents got married in 1980, and because my nana didn't want another dog in the house (my uncle still lived with my nana back then), my mum and dad took it in as they had recently set up house.
Also, as a useful fact, you can see our first ever washing machine - it was an ever famous square door Hoover, a 1982 A3110 model 1100 Spin Electronic. I love it almost as much as my current AEG set :-D.
Take care all,
Jon
