Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
Well, we lost a member of our family last night. Gypsy, one of our
dogs had been having slight seizures on occasion for a while and
yesterday while my daughter and I were gone to town for just a few
minutes, she evidently had one she couldn't come out of. We buried her
out by the pond since she always liked to jump in and go swimming to
cool off. She rarely barked unless she really meant it and would
always warn us about scorpions in the house, by staring at them and
growling or if that didn't get our attention, barking at them til we
came and killed them. She had a funny little howling song that she
would do when we came home to let us know that she was happy to see us,
and would jump and down with her front feet when she was excited. She
definitely had her own personality. We got her from PAWS back in 2002
originally because my husband Gary's grandpa said he would like a good
outside dog to keep an eye on his place. Then when we took her down
there, he had decided his health wouldn't allow him to take care of
her, so he decided not to take her. She was such a mellow sweetheart
that we had gotten attached to her and she never had to go back to
whatever kind of life she had before. She must've been forced to stay
outside in storms and whatever weather, as she really was afraid when
it stormed and would try to stick her head under the bed or stay right
by one of us. At least in her last years, she knew she was loved and
she will be missed.<br>
