Yes, Hannah is sweet. She doesn't like to be photographed, though.

I knew that Airedales were first bred in Yorkshire (near the River Aire, as the story goes), but imagine my excitement to learn that I have ancestors a few generations ago that were born and lived in Yorkshire (though maybe not near the River Aire). If you meet those Airedales and boxer and feel like giving them a pet, please give them one from me. I love both breeds.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-6342246509012781782015-03-15T20:44:49.138-04:002015-03-15T20:44:49.138-04:00Thank you, Wendy.
