I specifically bought my house with a fenced yard because I knew I wanted a dog. I adopted Cheech from the Frederick County, Maryland animal shelter in March 1994, when he was just nine weeks old. Two years later, I was widowed at age 26 and leaned on my two dogs emotionally during tough times. Casie lived to be 14-1/2 years old (adopted from the same shelter), and today Cheech is nearly 15-1/2 with the energy of a puppy! He has given so much to me unconditionally and is truly my best friend!
