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. http://www.home.earth_link_.net/~dogsnus/images/Taffy%20RIP.jpg

RIP Taffy aka Little Bits/ Doodle Bug/ Tough Girl What a huge hole you left for such a little girl. http://www.home.earth_link_.net/~dogsnus/images/Taffy%20RIP.jpg Aw Terri. I'm so damned sorry.

For reasons I'll only explain privately, I've gone no archive, and it's a shame.  Once in a while, while looking for something else, I'll run into an old post of mine.              What an idiotic response!                          Whoops.          

RIP Taffy aka Little Bits/ Doodle Bug/ Tough 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... Paul and Muttley
