I lost another furry friend yesterday. Doris has long been struggling with a disease that took its toll on her little body and a tough decision had to be made. I've known Doris since she was a puppy, but she always had a puppy charm about her for the past 7 years. Even though she was born the runt and blind in one eye you would never know it. Doris thrived every day like nothing was wrong. A little shy at times, but always happy to greet an old or soon to be friend. She was always happy to see me and everyone, as she was a true lover and not a fighter. When we used to go to the dog park, she would squeal and bark with joy before we even got there and everyone would look at her wondering what was wrong ;), nothing but pure happiness. Each night I stayed with the "kids" I would help them up into the bed and Doris would always try to steal my spot, then I would say "Doris not there", she was climb on top of the pillow next to mine and snuggle in for the night. She also of course loved her big brother George, followed in his paw steps every day. Now they get to be together once again. Such a tragedy to loose any life and especially ones so young. I still can't believe I'll never enjoy Doris's excitement to see me and pawing up my leg to get my attention. She was a tough girl who fought hard to stay with us a few extra months and for that we are all very Lucky. At least now she will not suffer any more and she is defiantly in Doggie Heaven. WE all LOVE you Doris, Licks and Kisses to you and George. RIP my friend.
