Brownie was born in the spring of 2003, he had 2 bothers. Bat Dog went to live with Aunt Lynda, Goober got sick with Parvovirus and died. Brownie got it as well. He made it through and became my baby. 6 months later Brownie swallowed a sewing needle, he had surgery and got well. 4 years later he was let out of his home and no one told his family so he, being the sheltered dog he is, got lost in the dark. He got hit by a car and had to have another operation to get well. He is pretty sure he is a cat and has 9 lives.
