My Babe was 22 when she suffered a ruptured aorta. She too was a wonderful friend, teaching kids to ride when she was not yet 3 years old. Always kind and faithful. Had a sense of humor too. I like to think that when I get to heaven if I need certain of my four-legged family to be with me for me to be happy there that God will make sure that happens. I can think of several that I miss terribly. We have been blessed to have our Babes, Strutters, . . . Cherish your memories. Sending you hugs.
