At top: Buster, Bud Middle: Quinn, Bruce, Jack Bottom: Russell "The dog's name was Polly. The dog was brought over from Monarch when we moved to Red Cliff. After she eventually died, there came a dog named Pudgie who was also a white Spitz but one of the most disagreeable dogs I have ever known."--Bud Beck, Jan. 17, 2009
