We haven’t had another dog stay with us since we adopted McKenzie Rae in November 2015. McKenzie was working through a lot of fear issues for a while so if the opportunity presented itself to watch a dog overnight at our home, we declined. Now that our girl is more versed in the ways of the world and we have a much bigger house, we can once again open our doors to more dogs. When Matt’s friend texted him one evening to see if we could take his Pomeranian, Aina (pronounced “eye-nuh”), for about 24 hours, we briefly discussed it and agreed. Of course we asked if she was good with dogs and cats, and she is. A couple of hours later, this little ball of fluff was walking through my front door and I fell in love.
The Dogs of the Titanic
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been extremely fascinated by the Titanic ship disaster. Dating back to the 4th grade, I can recall making presentations to classmates throughout my schooling about the great tragedy. In college I went as far as driving two hours so I could attend a private Titanic museum exhibit. All of this time, however, I’ve always wondered about the fate of the first class dogs aboard the luxury liner. What kind of dogs were on board? Did they survive? What are their stories?
