May 10,1991-Dec.10,2008 Skipper those 17 years and 7 months were not long enough!!Skipper was a rat terrier, full of life and love. The last couple of years,age began to take it's toll, but he hung in there like a champ.He joined our family as a puppy and was a joy, so much energy.He loved to run and chase squirrels,even running up a tree once in the excitment of the chase, I have the photo to prove it.lol He went everywhere with me..always a great companion. I am thankful for the time we shared. I dwell not on the last few moments of his life, when the vet helped him cross over to the Rainbow Bridge,but cherish all the precious memories of the years before. I am go glad I took so many photos of him. I have a residency site for him here, feel free to visit. http://RainbowsBridge.com/resident/SKIPP023/Resident.htm "The treasure left within the tear is love that never dies" 1corinthians 13:8,13 Skippper I will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge!!!
