Sand Dune

Sandyland"s Sand Dune (left, pictured with Clementine) was my son's dog. A marvelous character in terms of what she could, would, and did devour or at least bring home. Some examples of which are: down vests, deer carcasses, contents of trash cans(she was expert at tipping and extracting), road kill, workmen"s lunches, food fed to local chickens (apparently enough time to be shot with a 22 cal. which we subsequently found when X-raying for a litter during a false pregnancy). She also liked to spend time at the village store waiting for scraps and dropped icecream cones.

Perhaps her most infamous feats were eating all the stuffing for the Christmas turkey, and peeling a long, central strip of our carpet just as one would a banana. She was still "ours" and did raise our two Bull Terriers with kindness and patience.
