I have no clue what this dog’s actual name is, but I called him Ziggy.  He was hanging out with my pal Sherrie and I as we were taking pictures at Goffs, a mostly-abandoned whistle stop on old Route 66.  He really seemed to want to get in our car whenever we went to get something out of it!  He was a great photo assistant.
 
I called him Ziggy because the two-colored eyes thing reminded me of David Bowie.  Neither “David” nor “Bowie” seemed to work as a name for him, since dude had a lot of zest and energy… so I used “Ziggy” from the Bowie song “Ziggy Stardust”.

I miss him so.

This is a picture of my grand-nephew Chewie. He ran like the wind. He is missed by all.

With her sweetness and patience Mischa helped raise a wonderful child…who had previously thought dogs were scary.

She was so loved that she had endless names, including:

Mischa

Misch

Misch da Pisch

Pischa

Mischa Mae

Pischa Mae

Da Misch

Da Pischa

Mischa Pischa Pie

Pie

Baby Misch

Belly Girl

Pumpkin

And on and on….

 

Mischa is a much missed dog.

 This beautiful girl is the love of the Zeigler's life and we can see why!

Here are a couple pics of my little "girl," Goochie.  She's a 5-year-old Shih Tzu, and a tireless hiking partner.  The photos are from a recent camping trip to Holly Recreation area.
