25. Lost "Lady" - our family dog at the age of 17

Lady was 17

I was only 15

So she was part of my life from day 1.

Lady never bit nor growled at anyone - it was funny to watch her chase a rabbit across the yard because she would "hop" just like the rabbit.

I remember her last days as she had to drag her back end around - back legs didn't work anymore.

We moved the year my father had her put down. Wise my father was, had her put down during the move - when we arrived at our new home, Lady just wasn't there.

But I can still see her, 45 years later as I type.

Bought a new home (my first) recently.

I'm gonna get me a dawg, female -

And you got it right - -

"Lady" is the name.
