janel was a gift from a friend. and she has been one of the best gifts i have had, ever.
our little police dog, we can easily tell if there is a person hanging around our front yard that she does not know, or if it is just a cat or some little animal. she also barks differently when welcoming a family member or a friend.
as small and as short as she was, she makes up her short stature with a fierceness you would not want to mess with.
but what i liked about her was she knows how to catch your attention and is very affectionate. often, she would refuse my offer of a biscuit or bone until she’s had enough patting and belly rub 🙂
today, some nutcase tricycle driver ran over her.
there was no blood though and she managed to run back home and come to me. while i could not do much for her, my only comfort though was that she died with me around, trying to assuage the intense hurt she must be feeling. up to the end, janel never gave us any trouble. she quietly just moved on, with nary a whimper.
it was only moments before when you were just literally following me around, sitting where i chose to sit. as if knowing those were moments i will forever treasure.
i will so miss you my little buddy, our little princess.
my take
