Rob - Trudy - Tai - ca 1973
I'm pretty sure this is 1973. That looks like the same shirt I was wearing in my junior ID picture. I'm pretty certain the dachshund is Trudy (She was larger than Augustine, her mother, and much larger than Mom's two current girls) and I think that's Tai, our Siamese kitten. They didn't get along and Tai was too tiny to hold Trudy off. My kitten, Casey, could keep our two larger dogs at bay with her evil, evil hiss. Tai didn't have one of those. Hope I'm spelling his name right. Mom?
We had a second Siamese given to us by a friend and I think that's who you're holding. She didn't live more than a couple of days for some reason and I'm pretty sure that's why she was given to us. I couldn't tell which dog you're holding, but wasn't she shiny and pretty? I believe Thai was earlier than 1973 and he got along just fine with whatever dog or dogs we had at the time; however, he disappeared at age nine months and we never learned what happened to him. I never had another cat for some reason.
