2015 in Review

To all a Barky New Year and best wishes for 2016 "The Year of the Monkey."  2016 got exciting at our house as Sherman escaped out of the backyard.  Dad went out looking for him, one of his neighbors went looking in their car.  Dad left the gate open just in case.  After about an hour Dad came back home and noticed the gate was closed.  When he came to the back door, Sherman was looking at him through the sliding glass door.  Dad is not sure who got him back into the house, but a very happy Dad gave Sherman a huge hug and then gave a big one to Gemini too.
