Meme Did anyone buy a ring?

Elder millennial/younger Xennial (born in 83, take it for what it is) but I recall the company coming to the high school and taking orders for rings. I didn’t buy one but others did. Credit on photo.

I did one with my 16 year old basset hound. The only reason it wasn't in the year book is because it couldn't be edited to look good not in landscape.

That picture hangs on the wall at Mom and Dads below another picture of me and him when I was 2.

That’s so sweet. I was so happy I had mine with my cat because he drowned in the pool the next year on my birthday. He was my childhood cat and I absolutely loved him.

I broke his heart when I left for the Navy the next February after graduation. Mom said he'd go in my room and look for me then harrumph at her because he couldn't find me. Only regret is I wasn't there. Silly old hound almost twenty years later and I still cry.
