My wife Amanda and I had been married about a year when we decided in 2002 that we’d like to get a dog. I had just been in Philadelphia poster-bombing with my friend Ben Woodward, who brought along his dog Leroy, a one-eyed black Pug. Leroy was so affectionate, snorty, and funny, that I was set on a black Pug for our LA household. Amanda and I thought a dog would be a good companion and test for our future parenting skills.. you know, if we could keep a dog alive, maybe we could do the same for a human? We picked George up in Oct. 2002 and while we were getting tips from his human parents, they kept lecturing us about the dangers of the disease Parvo. They basically said “don’t take him to the park… he’ll get Parvo, don’t let him in the yard … he’ll get Parvo, don’t let him on the sidewalk… he’ll get Parvo!" It seemed so inevitable that George would get Parvo, that Amanda and I started calling him Parvo Boy as a nickname. More recently I saw the Latin phrase “Multum in Parvo” and discovered that it means “a lot in a small space or package!" Damn, that describes our little buddy George perfectly! Check out some art and pics of George’s charmed life. We are so grateful for our 18 years with you George!⁠ -Shepard and Amanda」8月15日 2時31分
