Some of you have met my two dopey dogs, Indy and Sophie at
picnics here... These two mutts (literally <g>) have been our
companions since we moved from Louisville, KY to Windsor, NY
about 15+ years ago. Indy died this week from cancer. We'd
been told about the cancer earlier this year by our vet.

Indy was a healty guy for most of his life even though he was a
bit funny looking.. When he was a pup his paws were huge,
making me think he was going to be a bruiser when he reached
"dog-adulthood" ... But his trunk didn't "match" the length of
his legs - he was much shorter than a full-breed Yellow Lab
adding to his comical appearence :)

That didn't stop him from chasing rabbits.. he loved to deposit
their dead carcases in my living room (eek)). He also loved to
torment my cats as any good dog would. He made sure none of the
cats here EVER got near his food dish - but that's because it
was HIS food. _Our_ dinner plates however were fair game if we
looked away from our plates for even a moment. I can't remember
how many times he stole food off my dish, which if you know
Labs, you know that is truly a lab trait.

I miss him terribly but I am so glad he is not suffering
anymore. I know the pain he suffered must have been so bad.

Btw, the breeder named her Gia... yuck. I'll have to come up
with a better name than that :)
