Well, we lost Tootsie last night. She just slipped quietly away during the evening after turning down her dinner for the first time in her life. A vibrant and joyful girl, Tootsie was happy every day of her life until the very end. Happy and bouncy at 3pm, quiet and not eating at 6pm, gone in the wee hours. I wish they could all go that way.

Destiny is in surgery today and we’re not telling her until tomorrow. Tootsie was Destiny’s junior handler dog. Destiny put a group placement on her when Destiny was 11. The timing here is not good. But we don’t get to choose these things do we? If Tootsie had a theme song it would be somewhere between “Ode to Joy” and “Shine on You Crazy Diamond”. Our house will be a lot emptier without her.
