A Heart Full Of Taffy
There wass a dog that was named Taffy. She was a sweet dog and liked to eat good things. She stuck to her people for almost 14 years. I think she lived near the ocean, too. When she was a little dog, she liked to sniff the flowers in her yard. She liked to ride in a wrecker truck so stranded ladies would not be scared. She liked to chase birds and other animals that she did not want in her yard. She protected her people.
One time she chased a fat squirrel up a tree. It fell out dead and she thought she had killed it! She was very proud of that. It made her people laugh. Many things she did over the years made her people laugh. They loved her like she was their very own child. Because she was.
Dogs get old quicker than people. Taffy started to get old. She had to take many medicines and special diets. But she would not give up. Sometimes she could hardly walk, but she still wanted to go outside. She needed to check on things she thought she heard. She wanted to protect the people that she loved so much.
But this week, her body wore out. She could not go on. The vet was called to make sure that Taffy could go to sleep and not hurt anymore. Her people are sad and miss her. They have a heart full of Taffy. So do I.
