Sapper President’s Day weekend 2008 I was watching the Fort Riley news channel where they were featuring a “Pet of the Week” from the post animal shelter. They called this mini-panther “Arrow” and said his time was about up and he needed a home. Of course, I went and adopted him. Adam was deployed so it would be a surprise. We...
