Sulley is Alive! Sulley fell into the lake today. He was far enough from the shore, that I didn’t consider going into the ice to get him. He was not far from the dock. I got GSD Emma into house. I figured she would try to go out on ice and “play” with Sulley. I had no idea what to do. I did think about hiding in the house till he died.

It was the 50’s. Life was good in a small Iowa town for the cute little red-haired girl. Enough Christmas years had passed and the little girl realized that she should get her mother a present.
