The Three Muskateers

Our master used to call her first three dogs the Muskateers.
They were larger dogs than we are, and she was younger back then and could handle them. Their names were Ben, Chuck, and Tyke. Ben and Chuck were English Springer Spaniels, and Tyke was a German Shepherd and Black Lab mix. We never met them, except Skip, who knew Tyke for awhile before we arrived. They all lived long lives and we have the photos to prove it.

Ben and Chuck, Chuck loved to swim, and Tyke.

Ben was a purebred Springer brought home from the pound by our master's brother. He said Ben picked him out. Ben won everyone over so much, they brought Chucky home
to keep him company. Ben raised Chuck like an old mother hen, even letting him eat his dog food. Tyke was a sickly pup left over from a litter being given away.
He grew up to be the best natured 90 pound dog our master ever had.
