2013 January 6th She was the goody two shoes of the dog world, so much so that she never put a foot wrong and maybe because she was never any trouble, her light was hidden under the proverbial bushel. But as she grew older, her character shone through and she became the focus of the pack, the matriarch who stood for all the good things in a dog/human relationship. She was a brave small dog who was not going to let go of life that easily all the time she could join in and do all the things she had loved, even though arthritis in her front leg gave her a jaunty swagger as she cantered for short distances yesterday afternoon. And so it was that last night, as every night, as I took all of the dogs out for their evening walk, she tore her cruciate ligament. The cold fact was that she would not be able to get up with only two legs, even a young dog would struggle. Her lovely 15 year old eyes told me that the pain was too much, please let me just stay here and please stroke the pain away. So I did, until the vet came, and then, so quickly, she was released. Merit, my tears are only for myself, as I can see your happy smiling face as I tell your story.

May your great grandchildren, born on Christmas Day become testimony to your wonderful life.
