Good Bye Pepper

[Cinder & Smoke]

... it was just yesterday when my sister and I found Pepper ...
and convinced my parents that she belonged with us.

... next to the cactus garden on their ranch,
she used to love to take naps there and watch all the rabbits running around the cactus.
God speed Pepper!

< sniff >
How well I remember the First Dog - Lady - and the week-long battle
to convince The Parents that Sis and I would "take good care of her"!
Even Dad agreed she was "cute"!

Safe Trip to the Bridge, Pepper.
I'm sure there's a Wabbit Patch that needs an experienced Watch Dawg to oversee
all the Hoppers ... ENJOY!

You'll be *missed* down here on the ole DurtBall.

Deepest Sympathies to those you've left behind.
