This came up in "Memories" on FB this morning. In unrelated news, the current dry spell seems to have stirred up a lot of dust here in the office.

She lays beneath the bushes, where she loved to roam. She chased the ball and had her fill of her favorite food and all the water she could drink. Then she laid down to rest before her weak body could reject the nourishment she so desperately needed. She will be missed and her memory will linger. She was a good dog, gentle with children, protective of her home, quick to learn. May she rest in peace.
