| Bisbee Person of the Week! |
 This week’s “person” is my dog, Otis! I had my wonderful pooch for 4060 days, he was 11 1/2 years old when he passed away 3 weeks ago. I named him after Otis Redding the soul singer. He was over 100 pounds and a rott-shepherd mix (his red coloring was from the rott). He was well-loved in the Bisbee community – many people knew his name before they knew mine. He was very gentle and had a pleasant demeanor, he was almost always happy. So keep dear Otis in your hearts as he is now at the Happy Hunting Grounds! |
