   My mother was into gardens and had a good size rose garden. The Federal   
   Dam on the Hudson has a lot of fish kill so my father brought some home   
   and they buried them around the rosebush roots. The family German Shepherd   
   dutifully dug up all those glorious rotten fish.   
      
   The dog had a hard life. He had to change his name to Police Dog during   
   the war. He was gone by the time I was born but his teeth marks in the   
   kitchen door lived on.
