Man's (and woman's) Best Friend


My "puppy child" will be 13 years old on the 30th of the month.

From the moment I first laid eyes on her, I knew I wanted her to become a part of my life. She sat in her cage at the pet shop, so quiet and sweet. Her sister was yapping constantly, but she never made a peep. I got her out and played with her and her personality was exactly what I was looking for. I told my (then fiance') husband, this is the one. I'm naming her Corky. When we got ready to take her home, the owner gave us her papers and when I looked at them I knew......her mother's name was Delta Corky Lee. It was fate. She and I were meant to be together.

It was almost six months later before I ever heard her bark. It's just not in her nature to be loud and obnoxious. Well, she has learned over the years to let us know exactly what she wants. And she can be quite vocal now if she doesn't get her way, but she's been my "sweetheart" from the very beginning, and she still is. Her antics keep us laughing all the time and her sweet nature has helped me through some very difficult times. Thank you God, for bringing this loving little creature into my life!
