Animal’s Story
Gracie was given to me when she was five, but I met her when she was just 8 weeks old. She belonged to friends who, upon the birth of their second child, asked me if I would keep Gracie. My dreams had come true! Full grown, she was just about 3 pounds, but had the personality and will of a 50 pound dog! She loved the garden and any warm weather and sunshine, but not a fan of the cold or wet weather, which was fine with me! She lived to be nearly 15 and will live in my heart forever. We were soulmates!
