Canine conductors

My four-legged pet pals have always been interested in the sounds and smells of the train room – even though they could never actually see the trains! But in October, our elder dog (16-1/2 years) Cinder let us know that it was time to retire from regular service and a lifetime of unwavering companionship. He was my first and dearest rescue dog who gave us so many great memories. We’ll miss him, but Trax (background) was a diligent understudy and he clearly has a nose for the railroad biz!
