About This Item

This Travel Bug is a memorial to our beloved dog, Boots, who died in September of 2003 at the age of 13. Winky Winky was her nickname and she enjoyed running about in the tall grass. As she got older, she helped my Mom create a friendly home for foster dogs who had been abandonned or abused.

    Took Winky Winky to San Francisco with us and left her in a dog park. She met at least 5 dogs in the short time we were there retrieving and replacing the cache. Have fun Winky!
    Retrieve It from a Cache 9/5/2004 LAM & NAR retrieved it from Faithful Partner California   Visit Log

    Grabbed Winky from Faithful Partner in Davis, California. We tried to encrypt a little more information about the Faithful Partner cache, but just realized (9/16/04) that for some reason the encryption is not working. You'll just have to find Faithful Partner yourself to learn why it was a good cache for Winky Winky. We meant to take her to another Davis cache...Animal Planet...so that she could snuggle with some stuffed-animal versions of dogs, but it was unfortunately stolen. We will definitely find a great place for her to visit soon. Thanks for the great theme...we love dogs. 🙂
