She started it all for me. She arrived as a little 3 month old black and while ball of joy in 1996. Feisty and loving, she produced four gorgeous sons. She was an instigator of fights between the boys; a great swimmer not afraid to go away over her depth; and a great lover of soccer. With a huge tongue for a little dog, she was a great kisser. She passed away at the age of 11. We all miss her a lot.
