"MOUSSE"

by NANCY JOLLEY

"MOUSSE" WAS A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND. HE WAS LIKE A WONDERFUL SHADOW! HE HAD HIS EYE ON ME NO MATTER WHERE I WAS. HE LOVED TO DRESS UP IN HATS AND OTHER CLOTHES AND WOULD JUST STRUT HIS STUFF. HE MUST OF HAD 15 OUTFITS. HE KNEW HE LOOKED GOOD DRESSED UP! HE ALSO LOVED TO RIDE IN MY GOLF CART THAT WAS NAMED "THE MOUSSE MOBILE". IT WAS NOT TO LEAVE WITH0UT HIM ON THE SEAT BESIDE ME. HE HAD TO HAVE A RIDE AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. IF HE THOUGHT IT WAS TIME FOR A RIDE, HE WOULD CLIMB UP IN THE SEAT AND LOOK AT ME AS TO SAY- "OK GO GET THE KEY" AND HE'D SIT THERE UNTIL I WOULD GO IN AND GET THE CART KEYS. HE WAS THE MOST LOVABLE DOG I HAVE EVER HAD AND HE LOVED EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. HIS FAVORITE THING WAS THAT HE HAD TO HAVE A MILK BONE EVERY NIGHT TO TAKE TO BED WITH HIM AS A SNACK. HE WOULD NEVER LET ME FORGET EITHER. HE DEVELOPED A MALIG. TUMOR IN HIS LUNG AND WHEN HE SHOWED SIGNS OF THINGS GOING DOWN HILL I HAD TO HAVE HIM PUT TO SLEEP. I WANTED MY EYES TO BE THE LAST EYES HE LOOKED INTO AS HE HAD SEEN ME THROUGH SO MANY HARD TIMES AND I WANTED TO BE THERE WITH HIM DURING HIS LAST TIME. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH "MOUSSE"
