(1994 - 2008) I probably should have nicknamed her ALady Gertie@ because she truly was a lady. It gave my heart such a joy to come into a room and have her joyfully run with her butt twisting as much as her tail. We had many pleasant walks, which were always masterminded by Miss Gertie. She would Amosey@ carefully not to miss a thing, which included stopping to smell everything and to gaze at what I could never quite figure out. Now, somehow I think she was remembering the wonderful days of her happy life. What a smart girl she was! She would stay close by in the backyard until whoever was with her took their eyes and thoughts off of her and she would instantly be sneaking off to the golf course, which she dearly loved.
I just know that Miss Gertie is running pain free on a beautiful golf course in heaven and she will never have to fear a thunder storm, again.
Miss Gertie, you are missed by so many.
