I named her molly because that was the name of skinners black lab! Again I am sorry to hear about your loss and skinner will be greatly missed by many!

Sympathy to Jim’s family. The only time I visited with him was a few years ag when he had a white dog. I went ot to a shed & here come this dog. I called several of my neighbors & they said don’t touch it. Told me to call Jim…he came right over & took it home & got rid of it. Made me mad since the neighbor knew I went walking & didn’t bother to tell me.
Jim was my uncle he will be always known as uncle Jimmy to me I spent many summers out there and so loved it I was just back to the farm last year to see my other uncle Rolland as my mother their sister passed away as well as my father.
