Everybody loved Boozer. Well, almost everybody. We were going to call him, "General Ike."
But Cpt. Parramore said he wouldn't be out-ranked by a dog!
So we got him drunk and named him "Boozer" (the dog that is).
Last time I saw Boozer, he was about 3 years old and could barely get through the door.
He never became a general, but he was our buddy!
