The Chronicles of Riff Raff

Shortly after Paul and I moved in together, we decided we needed a dog. My mom's allergies meant I never was allowed one as a child. My love of animals found other outlets; I cherished visits to my neighbor’s pond to feed their rainbow-speckled koi, as well as caring for Hermie, my beloved hermit crab. I had many roommates over the years who had dogs and I had many cat companions but never my own puppy. Plus, I wanted my kids, Kevin and Jackie, to have a dog.
