WE found her along the road, abused and dirty.  She became 
our precious Binky, part poodle and lots of love.  Eleven and 
a half years have gone by and she finally had gotten to ill to 
go on.  She did not give up, I finally made the choice to have 
her put to sleep.  October 15, 2002 was the date and the grief 
is still almost too much to handle.  Her joyful bark and soleful 
eyes were the first thing I looked for when returning home.  
Not a day has passed that I do not hear her near me.  I just 
know she is not suffering now and I have to come to grips 
with this.  I miss her more than I ever thought I could and will 
always keep her near to me with the wonderful memories.
