Hi fellow dog lovers, I just lost my precious Tessa about 7 months ago to cancer, she was 10 1/2 years old and we went through some of the best and worst times together. She went pretty much everywhere with me, would sit in the front seat like a person and we would “talk” while driving. She was so cool and I miss her terribly. She never barked or was mean, so sweet and loving but scared to death of loud noises, loud voices and thunder. She would even run into the bedroom and crawl under the bed when someone said a curse word. I’m not sure what breed she was but she looked like maybe a pinscher/rottweiler mix, just much smaller. Actually, at one time less than a year ago I had 3 cats and 1 dog – they all passed away within the last year except for one cat. I just haven’t had the heart to get another dog yet but I’m sure I will eventually, it’s just still too fresh.
