Well I got thinking I had a photo of our early Salem years…a snow storm in Bush Park…in the corner of the park near Deepwood gardens…and I found it…December 1971, before I REALLY realized it doesn’t snow that often in Oregon (unlike the mid-west). My memory of that year is being amazed that city snow work involved driving around in a dump truck with a couple of guys throwing out sand with a shovel…anyway…Bush Park, 1971:
and then I found a picture of our beautiful friend Chipper (1971-1981)
owner of this stocking I posted earlier this week…
Ahhh…visual loose ends tied up!
On The Way 
Bonnie,
I am really enjoying the photos of the snow covered Salem.. Chipper looks like he was a great buddy.
Certainly you are recalling Chippoo.
I had forgotten how smart he was…which kind of shows up in the photo, no?
I think I remember Chipper. Good to see him again.
