We've had Deanna ever since she was 6 weeks old. She was given to us by a friend who's daughter received Deanna as a Christmas present from her boyfriend. Thankfully, Deanna found a good home with us, but there are other dogs who are not that lucky. That is why I strongly urge everyone not to give away any kind of animal as a gift. An animal is a living being who has feelings too!

We had Mousy for well over 12 years. I found her roaming around the street as my friends and I were playing in my neighborhood. I felt sorry for her and took her home. She was five years old and she was full of life. Mousy stayed with us and became pretty spoiled having gone from rags to riches. The one thing I will never forget about her is her greeting when I came home. Mousy's greeting was a mixture between howling and singing which sounded like "Oh yeay yeay yeay Aw whoo whoo whoo". Her little concert as we all called it made us really feel like we were missed by her. I also remember how she tore my classmate's pants because he was making fun of me. I was on the verge of tears and Mousy seemed to sense this as I walked home from school with her. My classmate was walking in front of me laughing and making gestures. Finally, Mousy got furious and she yanked away the lease from my hand and ran after my classmate. She grabbed the end of his pants, pulling, and growling at him. When she saw that he was scared she let go and he ran off fast. After that he never tried to make fun of me when she was around.

And now we don't hear her concert anymore…and the house feels empty. Even Deanna misses Mousy and she can't seem to get use to the fact that she's now the queen of the house. Mousy will always stay in each of our hearts and the emptiness will never be filled. Thanks for all the wonderful times I shared with you Mousy, I'll never forget you.
