We met in Nov. 1991 in an Arizona shelter. She was already 5 yrs. old, but I'd always wanted a Basset. I adopted her that day & who knew she would rescue me daily all the rest of her life. I named her Sissy & she became my partner, sidekick, confidant & best friend. For 8 yrs & 3 months I never imagined all the fun she would have provided for me. Well, now she has crossed over to the Rainbows Bridge (2/17/2000) where I know she is finally healthy, never, ever needing another pill, & playing amongst many new friends. Although I miss her more than words can describe, it is of great comfort that I'm able to believe that we will see each other again.
