In Memory of P.D.

       

PD,

I remember the day I went to the animal shelter to pick out a new dog. You were not the one I went to get, but once I saw that awesome smile and wagging tail, my heart was won.You were about 10 months old at the time. You were always mama's girl, so special to me. You shared my life with Sooner for two years, and when she died of poisoning I almost lost you too. The doctor's said you would probably be brain damaged, but you were perfect once you recovered. Then, you were the only dog for awhile, until daddy got Yukon, and you were so happy to have a brother dog. Those young days with you and Yukon were very special. The two of you racing to get home, going on runs with us, racing through the house and down the stairs to get your ball.

Then we soon moved to our condo. The day after Thanksgiving 1995,you found Annie hiding behind an air conditioner unit. You soon had your first sister since Sooner was poisoned. You were so accepting of your new sister, never jealous. We soon moved to our house and you soon had another sister to love, Thelmalou, our liver dal. Again, you were a great sister, going from being the only dog, to having two sisters to have to share mama's attention with.

PD and me in Colorado, July 99, her last trip

PD, you were my Colorado dog. The first time I went, it was just you and me. Then you went two more times. It was our special place, and will be really different without my smiling mugger pugger there. You were in such good health, then for two days, you threw up and wouldn't eat. Then came the diagnosis, chronic renal failure. You gave a great fight for 10 days, but were just too sick. When we took you to Dr. Bixler to put you to sleep so you could go to the bridge, you wagged your tail and smiled for us one more time. PD, you are always in our hearts.
