Well let me tell you a story.<\/p>\n<p>Way back when, just before the last of the dinosaurs died out, young Yogi and his family lived in the Ranger Station at Payson, Arizona. We lived in a government issue cinder block house. Here is Yogi with his siblings. (Isn&#8217;t Yogi&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/ellensnewblog.blogspot.com\/\">sister<\/a> cute as a button?)<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Idaho 2010 161 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4708283441\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/4708283441_4d49a84d31-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"Idaho 2010 161\" width=\"500\" height=\"341\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>About every two or three months on a Saturday morning when we were all still in bed, Dad would yell, &#8220;Here&#8217;s Pierre!&#8221; and we could hear these dog toenails click clacking down the government linoleum in our hall and run into the bedroom I shared with my brother and jump up onto our bed and just go crazy jumping and licking and barking. It was a magical joyous occasion when Pierre showed up.<\/p>\n<p>Being the little kids that we were we never wondered why or how Pierre got to our house. We just knew that he was there for a little while and then he was gone.<\/p>\n<p>So whenever I see a Basset Hound, I know what his name is and I know that he is mine. And he knows that his name is Pierre and he is mine.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"20100927_24 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5031564137\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/5031564137_8c3cfcc5f3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"20100927_24\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But I have never taken him home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I pulled up in the parking lot of the Equestrian Facility where SuperPizzaBoy is taking his Hippotherapy Sessions my dog Pierre ran to greet me.
