Lady was a very special pup. She was a stray that could not be caught for several days in an apartment complex. My 7 yr old special needs granddaughter happened to be outside and Lady jumped in her arms. Lady became her therapy dog for the emotional support. Lady helped Sydnee compete in the 4H dog division with great success. Lady stayed with Sydnee for 9 yrs. When Sydnee was a teenager, Lady made it clear that Sydnee was ready to face the world alone. Lady jumped in my husband's lap, on the day Sydnee moved in with her mother, where she stayed for the rest of her life. She was approx 16. We have always felt she was sent by the lord and did her job to perfection. We miss her every minute of every day. God Bless you, our ladybug.
