Gozzis Turkey Farm in Gulford, Connecticut, as been offering colored turkeys during the holiday season for nearly 40 years! Ian Taylor of Ripley, Derbyshire, and spent over $18,000 and almost 5 years collecting My Little Pony toys! The original Rin Tin Tin was discovered as a puppy by an American serviceman on a World War I battlefield.
One day, my dad came home from work (I was in the third grade) with a tiny, 4 week old, shepherd-collie mix. The owner was going to drown him because “a filthy collie mated with his show dog”. Our Sarge was so tiny and young that he thought my black head of hair was his Mama. Anyway he grew into a beautiful 180 lb german shepherd, no collie visible. He was the best playmate any of us had. Played chase,hide n seek, cops and robbers or any game we chose and could grab us by the foot and drag us home when it was time to go in. We never knew he had a tooth in his head. He lived past the age of twenty and passed in his sleep still perfectly happy to sit at the gate and bark at the passing cars.
