In Memoriam - My Four Legged Best Friend

[shizuka_yanagi]

Mom named her Angel, but my younger brother and I called her Stinky (short for Capt. Stinky Nuts - don't ask).  Mom discovered her in the animal shelter at the veterinary clinic that she worked at as a groomer.  She was a little Bichon Frise, which, at the time, I had no idea was a breed of dog.  She looked like a squat poodle when I first saw her

This moved me to tears.

I'm so sorry, Jon. I know she meant a lot to you.

As cheesey as this is, I leave you with this link: http://www.petloss.com/poems/maingrp/rainbowb.htm

That link reminds me of something. Andy and I used to wonder how Bichons came to be. We always imagined a pack of wild Bichons running playfully through the fields. When I think of Stinky, I imagine her in that field with other fluffy, adorable poofball doggies. Now, she's roaming wild, roaming free, into that endless horizon of an eternal sunset.
