My first dog was actually my sister's, but he was really a family pet. His name was Fritz or Fritzie, as we called him. He was a standard dachshund. Fritz was a great guard dog and never wanted leave his yard. He passed when he was about 12 of a heart attack, we think. He was a great dog.

Here is my older sister, Sandy, with her birthday present, little Fritz. I think she was about 8 or 9.



Here is a picture of Fritz and me. I must have been maybe 5 or 6, maybe?.....
