When I went to my vet early
this morning he felt that they had done all they could and
that she was not responding, so we decided it was time to
let her go. It will take me a long time to adjust to her
absence downstairs where she has been most of the time over
the past several years. She was a wonderful, friendly little
dog who never fought, bit, or showed any kind of aggressive
behavior in her life. Her last years were a little tough
since she lost most of her vision, but she was still in good
health and active up to the end. I hated seeing her in such
distress the past two nights, but the rest of her life was
stress free and happy, so I hope she crossed that Rainbow
Bridge peacefully and will be there to greet me one day.

This is a photo I took of Little Starr when I
first got her in the summer of l991. Today she is 15 and a half and will turn
16 on June 6th. She is still healthy and active, although her hearing is very
poor and there have been some changes in her vision. To look at her you would
think she is still a young dog. I'll try to find a shot of her which is more
recent. She still has a great disposition.
