Pepe

This is for Pepe, the dog my mom and stepdad got the weekend my dad and stepmom got married. I came home on Sunday morning to be greeted by a little red weenie at the door. He became a member of the family quickly. If my dad was tickling someone he would go up to dad and put his mouth around his arm gently. He loved cookies and soon learned the word so that we had to spell unless we wanted him to pester us for one. then he learned what it meant when we spelled and it was almost to the point of writing it down. He was a good cuddler. Put up with us dressing him up in scarves and reindeer antlers at Christmas time.

I was about 12 when we got him and when I was in my 4th year at college he went to the Rainbow Bridge when he was attacked by another dog in our yard. It was a sad time for all of the family and he will always be missed. He was the dog that started my true love for all doxies.

Lisa Mandina, other family members are Richard, Cathy, and Richard Jr. Viets.
