Good-bye to Tiny...


This is Tiny, Sony's sister. She was quite a bit smaller than Sony, and the last few months weighed only about 4 lbs. She was totally blind in one eye, and a cataract was also growing in her right eye. She had lost most of her body fur, so needed a little coat to keep her from getting chilly.

She put up with Maynard, although never played with her. But then, Tiny only was playful as a very young dog. She 'adopted' Dale as the only human allowed to touch her without getting bit. She would sit with Colin in the recliner , however.

Tiny didn't see the sense of all Maynard's toys. The only things that interested her were Dale, her pillow, and food. She would have been 15 years old in October.

Dale built a little wooden coffin for her, and she is buried at the edge of the woods with her mother, Bridget, our cat, Mister, and an even smaller poodle, Misty, who was about 3 lbs. Good-bye, Tiny. You are missed. Maynard spent several days looking for you, even though we let her say 'goodbye' to you when we came back from the vet.
