Gus

Halifax County, best county in Virginia! I was born there!!!

[Sammy Oakey @fabfourfan]

You name it and it was being sold on the City Market this morning by Lawyer Bob, Astella (just got her Masters Degree this week), and Farmer Tim! They even had some crenshaws from Halifax County!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Yes it’s great! My neighbor works there so we go often!

[Sammy Oakey @fabfourfan]

@ppuryear55 That venue is a real asset to the Greensboro area! I go THERE more than I go to venues in Roanoke!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

They are awesome, I have seen them twice at the Tanger Center!

[Sammy Oakey @fabfourfan]

The final song on the PA system before last night’s @AirSupplyMusic concert started was The Beatles “Come Together”. Listen to what they played on the PA system as Russell and Graham bid farewell to their fans after the show . . . .

One Adam A12–One Adam 12! My favorite TV show! Pretty sure it tells you my age!!!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Happy birthday Dr. Fierro! I met you in the mid 70’s to mid 80’s, I worked for a funeral home in South Boston, VA! You were always so kind to me.

[Patricia Cornwell @1pcornwell]

Happy Birthday to the amazing Dr. Marcella Fierro! One of the first female forensic pathologists. How privileged I was to work with her.

My friend, mentor, and the inspiration for Scarpetta. 🎂❤️🔎

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Barkley is so tired tonight, this hot weather is the culprit m!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Oh Sammy I’m so sorry to hear about Ragnar! I know how hard it is to lose that special dog! Praying for you and your family!

[Sammy Oakey @fabfourfan]

Ragnar’s visitation is this afternoon at our South Chapel, and instead of dreading it I’m actually looking forward to celebrating a life well lived. Sam & Allison have created videos, are bringing Ragnar’s toys, and even have the Blue Cow truck bringing ice cream for everyone!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Barkley is ready for his afternoon walk! He has really slowed down recently, hip dysplasia getting worse!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Only 80%!!!!

Hard to believe Gus has been gone 5 years! I miss my buddy every day!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Also Sheepdog coffee season!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Merry Christmas all Old English Sheepdogs! In memory of Max, Morgan, Madison, and sweet Gus! Also celebrating our sheepie Barkley!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

Dr Fierro is the greatest, she was so helpful to me in the 70’s and 80’s in the ME office in Richmond!

[Patricia Cornwell @1pcornwell]

In the autopsy suite with Dr. Marcella Fierro.

[Pete @ppuryear55]

I think I walked Barkley to much today!

[Pete @ppuryear55]

@fabfourfan Great news, I’m so glad he is in remission!
