My article Ringo, the ex-pat dog is posted at the Dollar Vigilante. dollarvigilante/blog/2013/11/12/ringo-the-ex-pat-dog.html Ringo is moving to Chile with us. The big guy wandered up our driveway four years ago in the dark, early hours of a fall morning. My study is just off the foyer, and I was hunkered down over my computer when Bear – a dog now deceased – erupted into a string of barking in the front yard. That wasnt unusual. Bear patrolled the perimeter of our farm every night and he challenged every shadow that dared to move.

A skeletal black dog stood in our driveway about five feet away from the yapping Bear. His large head sagged down between his shoulders as though the weight of it was about to bring him to his knees.
