Catie has been visiting Romania with her dad, who also happens to be Willie’s dad and transcriber.
He is there on business.
Catie is there for fun.
She’s enjoying 100 degree temperatures with no air conditioning.
The golden’s name is pronounced something like “Jimmy.” However, I don’t know how to spell it.
I’ve heard lots of stories about this dog, including what happened to him when a family of foxes denned near his house. The foxes kicked his butt whenever he came near the den, which is exactly what I would have expected in a battle between a mother red fox and a golden retriever.
We have discussed setting up a correspondence between Jimmy and Miley. It would be very Mrs. Pumphreyesque.
But so be it.
*Update: The golden’s name is “Gimi.”
For the record, Catie is my adopted sister, not sure
where dad got her.
My mom says Aunt Catie was found abandoned with a litter of piglets on Pork Chop Hill.
Geemee or Gimme?
I just learned how to spell it today.
Doug pronounces it Jimmy.
Well, hope the Romanian “Gimi” is doing far better than the Romanian gypsies who are roaming all over western Europe searching for asylum…
