I haven't been around for quite awhile but many of you knew of Taffy,
the last of our traveling trio who logged thousands of miles of
companionable travel, and the last of the same trio to whether
Hurricane Katrina with us.

After a valiant fight, Taffy lost her battle today with acute canine
leukemia. She'd had two really fantastic fun- filled weeks just prior
to this mornining. She awoke unable to hold her head up without
support and standing unassisted was out of the question. She let us
know it was time to let her go. While holding her and feeding her
until now, forbidden tasty chocolate, she went peacefully and calmly
in our arms. I gazed into her eyes as she left and I swear I saw her
unspoken thank you to us for everything deep within her cloudy little
cataract-covered eyes.

We brought her home & buried her under the apple tree in the orchard
next to the road, so she could eternally bark at all future passing
cars, trucks, tractors and bicyclists.

RIP Taffy aka Little Bits/ Doodle Bug/ Tough Girl

What a huge hole you left for such a little girl.

Our sincerest condolences on your loss. I hope you will eventually find a
place in your heart and home for other dogs. I'm sure that's what any
well-loved dog would want.

Paul and Muttley

Jerry -

I would not have thought even you would be so crass as to post what you
did. You will lose the shaky support of even those few who still sometimes
read a few of your posts, hoping you might actually say something useful
and civil.

Into the bit-bucket with you and your loathsome spew.

Don't bother with a reply. I can guess what you will say, and I can and
will just MAR or delete it. You're just pissing into a black hole, and I
hope you get sucked in...

I'm so sorry. She looks so cute in the photo. You loved her and cared for
her
and knew when to let her go. She couldn't have asked for more than that.

So sorry for your loss, Terri. I'm sure she was grateful as you took on
her pain and set her free. It is quite a loss, indeed.
