Remembering Rex

Rex, Circa 1958

Laura and Linda were too young to remember Rex, the first "Averill Dog." Jennifer wasn't around at that time. He was a Cocker Spaniel and lived with us on 25th Avenue before we lived in New Orleans. Rex was the very first dog I remember. Like most dogs we had when we lived on 25th, he died by getting run over by a car, around 1961 or so.

Still, Rex was a very nice dog, and one memory I had was going out into the woods with Dad to bury him after his passing. Thanks for the memories, Rex!
