Leighton's Heidi Ho "Dooley" was born in Florida on December 19, 2007. Ed surprised me with him in March of 2008 after I was diagnosed with cancer for the second time. He had him flown in to New Orleans and we picked him up and went out to eat with friends. I've never been so surprised or pleased. After a few months of intense training he finally learned the art of "going outside to potty" and he became the joy in our hearts. Our bedroom floor is scattered with toys that he loved and he and Ed played every night before we went to sleep. He especially loved his trips to the beach. He loved riding the elevator to go downstairs to parade around the condo grounds marking every light pole and plant. He made friends with all the other owner's pets and wasn't shy about playing with the children. Dooley was the sweetest, smartest dog I've had in many many years. My heart is broken today because while I was gone to have scans in Natchez, Dooley got hit by a car. Chondabelle had called earlier to tell me he was by the highway. I had called him in and told him that was not what he should do. When I left he went outside again. I told him not to go near the highway. He just didn't listen.
People come into out lives for a season and a reason. Maybe our pets do too.
