The SpaceDog Photo Journal Index for 2008

SpaceDog Journal Index 2008

||
||
||

This index page covers SpaceDog's entire trip to England from April 2004 through March 2008 and contains both photos and tells the entire story of the trip with his now ex-wife Rosemary, aka Odyssey, the places he travelled to, the people he met and the wonderful experience of living in another part of the world...

SpaceDog left the United Kingdom and returned to the USA with his 2 sausage dog & "best friends", Raskle and Fancy after his wife abandoned love for something different and to this day has never reveled why she left and abandoned what he thought was a perfect couple.
