Oct. 1974- Sept. 24,1987
Sooner was my first dog I had as an adult. This page is a tribute
to her. Sooner went through college and young adulthood with me.
She was my best friend, running buddy, etc. She was definitely
a "mutt." I paid $5.00 for her from an ad I saw in the paper.
Sooner was poisoned in her own back yard. More than 20 dogs
in my neighborhood were poisoned with strychnine and most of
them died. The killer was never found. I came home and she was
already dead. Five days later, my PD, now 14, was also poisoned.
I managed to get her to the vet and save her. I still grieve for
Sooner and wanted this page as a tribute. She was never sick a
day in her life until the day she was killed. Even though she was
a month short of being 13, she didn't seem old at all. Here are
some of her pics. They are poor quality, and I lost my album with
most of her pics in it.
