He was a burnise mountain dog, border collie mix. He was rescued at three years old, when his first furever family, fell apart. Mom and Dad of that family got divorced, and Dad took Cubby with him. From what we were told, where the man lived, he wasn't allowed to have the dog inside, so, he left him outside all the time. At one point the man stopped feeding him, and he became rather thin.

This goes out to all the first amazing pets anyone could ever have...

The Blessings of the Season
I was sick when I started this story last year and never had the strength to finish it when it was relevant. Pip had also died during that time, so writing was very difficult for me. I'm finishing it now--because it's time. Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to everyone who celebrates them--and may the blessings of the Season be upon you all, no matter who or where you are.

When not engaging in these activities they would spend hours discussing the humans they were forced to live with.
