| Duffer is a dog made in heaven - adorable and low maintenance (only requires one short walk a day). He welcomes everyone at the door and loves Jim and Susan being around all day to keep him company. He was rescued from the dog pound 10 years ago and has never looked back. He is very proud of being the SchoolSpring mascot and sometimes when you call you can hear him in the background "welcoming" someone. |
