Sissy
July 1994 ~ November 19, 2009
This is Sissy as a Puppy..
and below enjoying the warm grass
this past summer.
Sissy Gump was what we called her, but her
name was Princess. I said from the first day
we got her that she was the sweetest dog
God ever made, and she was. Never in 15+ years did
she growl or act mad, she wouldn't even say anything
when Ellie took food right out of her mouth.
She would sometimes
let out a bark if we were running late
with her dinner though.
Sissy love to eat chicken & rice
and she was quite fond of naps.
Like all dogs she loved getting love, she would sit
for hours and let you pet her...and as long as your hand
was moving a little, she was happy.

Hi, my name is Ellie.
I like playing with all kinds of toys...
jumping and bouncing are fun too.
I also like to give kisses & snuggle.
I'm a Leo, 5 pounds and I love Italian food.
Oh and I love dogs, dogs are great, much better than cats.


a Thanksgiving poem

Poor Turkey


Happy Thanksgiving
Everybody said
I just feel so bad
Because the turkeys’ loose their head

Happy Thanksgiving
Yelled my little brother
Can we please let him go
I asked my mother

No no silly girl
We won’t let him go
He’s the guest of honor
He’s the star of the show

Oh the poor turkey
He always ends up dead
No one even cares
That his name was Fred!

The happiest people
don't necessarily
have the best
of everything;
they just make
the best of
everything they have.

"My darling girl, when are you going to realize
that being normal is not necessarily a virtue?
It rather denotes a lack of courage!"

Click to enlarge & then read the letter, then look at the first letter of each line...
