Daisy and Delilah I had the same reaction. I almost didn't want you to read about little Gertie because I knew it would upset you so. It is too sad to even imagine. Gertie, thank God that you are loved for the special little girl that you are, and will be treated with adoration and respect for the rest of your life. Tummy rubs and spooning! What a wonderful thing to read!! Enjoy your day as Top Dog - little Gertie, our sweet Sunday Dog of the Day.
