Birthday: December 23rd 1997 Likes: Giving love,watching over the others,and Mommy.... Pet-Peeves: Give me anything that squeaks, and it dies. Favorite Toy: Oh I am an old girl,sometimes,just letting the young ones play around me,is enough. Favorite Food: I like most anything... Favorite Walk: Out in the back yard,watching the kids play. Best Tricks: She sits up, rolls over and shakes your hand. And for a baby girl this size, that is hard to do Arrival Story: My Dutchess was born December 23, 1997. When she came to us she was 7 weeks old and very sick. The Vet wanted to put her down because he said she wouldn't make it. Being the stubborn mommy I am, I proceeded to Dr her and kept her next to me day and night and it was touch and go for a long time. Then one day I noticed her tail wagged and she reached over and kissed my hand. From then on we have been like the bobsey (sp) twins. She is the most mellow Angel. She lets the other furkids lay on her and when we have babies, she takes over and becomes grandma. They can chew her ears, her lip. Yep they even bite her hiney. (sp) She has so much patience and waits for her treats or dinner until the rest have had theirs . She sits and waits for her loves until the others get theirs. She is a true Dutchess.This little Angel is one of a kind. The mold was broken when God made her. He made her so perfect and I got the pure pleasure of being her mommy. I had to put her on Dogster so everyone could enjoy her. I had to share her. Bio: I was told two years ago that she has Congestive Heart Failure and Cushings. (That nearly broke my heart) This is what has caused her size. She was always a big girl but this has increased. Last week she was in the Hospital for two days and they found her heart has enlarged a lot since the last x-ray. It is still under the danger zone but not far. She was put on water pills for the water buildup. And meds for her heart. It was beating way to fast and she has a blockage. So she is on a Bata Blocker. She has a hard time breathing and you can hear her all the time now. But with all this going on, her tail still goes ninety miles an hour and she still tries to play with the other furkids. She tires easy. She had slept with me since we got her but in the last two months she has moved to a bed I bought for her. I miss her behind my head at night. Forums Motto: My Precious Angel. I miss you so.

Dutchess's husband sent this to me to read and now I am putting it in her Diary. She would have been so touched. She loved her Benny more than life itself. She cherished him and she lived for him. It was her body that let her down. Now she waits for him and they will be together forever. Here is his dedication to his wife:
I thought you might like to have the words to the song that makes me think of my beautiful Angel Wife.
Dedicated to Dutchess (grandma) ~ I Love you Very Much my Angel.
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. he said,
"boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but i loved your grandma so."
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, i found this letter, and this is what it said:
If you get there before i do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long i'll be.
But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till i see you again,
I'll be loving you. love, me.
I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray.
I know i'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
If you get there before i do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long i'll be.
But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till i see you again,
I'll be loving you. love, me.
Between now and then, till i see you again,
I'll be loving you. love, me.
