I have had two former Garage Dogs and two current Garage Dogs. The first Garage Dog was Annie, who was a South Carolina Yellow Dog. I built the first version of this site in 2002 when she was my companion in the garage. I named the website after her, Big Dog. Annie died on Valentine's Day 2005. I soon adopted a Husky Chow mix who I named Zora. Zora was a cool dog that acted like a clown. She loved going for rides in the Bug. I think she claimed the Bug as her car. Zora died 7 days before the Hurricane Harvey Flood. Our house and garage went four feet underwater during the flood. It took us about a year to recover from the flood. The day we moved back into the house, 17 November 2018, we adopted Axle to become the new Garage Dog. Axle Grease is a good guard dog and a great companion while I work in the garage. A few years later we adopted Paisley from a local shelter. Paisley really livened up the backyard and provided companionship for Axle.
