Love the photo of Sallie and her gifts.
Thank you, Donna! It was a late Sunday afternoon on a busy July weekend last year when I was fortunate to snap that picture of Sallie. She'd had many visitors! But my favorite among all the things we've seen at her statue was a small American flag someone left a couple of years ago. It was the only item there, and along one of the white stripes someone had neatly printed in block letters, "TO A GOOD DOG, WE REMEMBER."
