(A friend asked me if I could post this message for her. What a wonderful story and adorable pic! Can you guess who that beautiful girl is? Hope you enjoy! ).

" I met her at the Nurseryland Garden and Pet Center. It was love at first sight. They had to kick me out the front door at closing time, but I was back the next day after school and every day after that until the weekend, when I could show up at opening time and stay until closing at 5:30. The sales staff finally took pity on me and let me put her on "Lay-away". One dollar (my weekly allowance) per week for four weeks, but eventually...SHE WAS MINE. The year was 1961 and I was twelve years old. One bite from that old Love Bug and I was hooked forever! Happy Valentines Day!"
