<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008>The longest week I
have spent.........</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> I hear
her and see her . All habit I am sure.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> Most of
all I miss her.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> But I
know she is with my mother- her grandma and with Heide
Louise.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008>And she is not in
any pain anymore.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> She was Basset
Beardie and I have to tell you - the best of both breeds. What a dog!
She smiled - she was always taking care of business!( that was the herd dog part
of her)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> She came and
told me when the other dogs had to go out. She watched the babies, if no one was
in the room with them. Lovey was laying right by them.The bigger grandkids
she would lay on the sofa while they watched TV. She watched them until an
adult came in. Then she would leave to find another job!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> She took the
garbage out each Sunday night - up and down the driveway to the curb OH so
proud.. And everyday to the trash can outside.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> She taught
Maisie May how not to be as frightened by demonstrating our games of "scare the
dog" and "find the dog." Maisie soon learned to have fun
playing.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> She woke Papa
up everyday at the same time- she was insistent- it was her JOB.
</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008>She woke me up first
everyday at 5:30 or 5:45. I never set and alarm. And this past week i haven't
gotten up on time once..............</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> Lovey never
knew a stranger. She LOVED everyone.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=968335914-19092008> </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=968335914-19092008>Lovey knew how to blend and be where she was needed -
when she was needed. What a Dog. Her jobs are to many to list-all
self appointed! And she did them like clockwork.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008>If ever there was a
perfect dog- it was our Lovey Lu.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=968335914-19092008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008>The memories of her
are abundant. The Void she has left is mammoth. The friendship we shared is once
in a lifetime.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> I wonder if
she knows we still need her!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> But we have
great memories and for that we are forever grateful.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> Thank you
all for the many many condolences we received. They truly
helped.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=968335914-19092008> We are
sending healing thoughts to those who need it and warm hugs to those who
need hugs.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
