Our dog in Galveston was a Saluki, the fastest dog in the wold. But our Cindy was alone all day so we decided to get another dog to keep her company when we were both at work. A friend from work, a psychiatrist also owned Salukis and had just had a litter of puppies. He also owned a house close to the hospital with a good sized yard that was for rent. Ken and I went to look at the puppies which was a mistake because we loved them all. And our friend was willing to rent us his house, which was partly furnished. Before we turned around, we were the proud owners of two dogs plus would soon move into our new home.
When we lived in that home, it seemed spacious but when we drove past the house a few years ago it seemed very small. But it was perfect for us. Ken rode his bike to the hospital and our three dogs loved the yard. Eventually the boys were born while we lived there and we had wonderful neighbors.
We had been told that the house had central heating. What they mean is that a central heater is in the middle of the house. The air conditioner worked well. Fortunately the winter in Galveston was mild so the central heat was adequate. One winter it actually snowed and we could see people up and down the street cleaning the snow from their cars using spatula. Too funny.
We enjoyed our time in that house and we remained in that comfortable home until we moved to Bethesda in 1970.
