Jer is my parents orphan. He is old. Thirteen now. My parents last dog. Starting with a stubborn Basset Hound in the early 1960s Jer was the last pet my folks kept. Jer has been living with me for the last six weeks. Soon he will be heading to Colorado for his last home. Does he remember those many years living in the same house. Does he remeber the routines he had for all of those many years. Who knows with a dog. With me his routine is to go to the office each morning and each evening take walk around Townlake. Slow walks. That is what he is capable of now. Very old man kind of walks.
