Today I lost my best friend. Sitting in front of my house with my daughter, she walked across the street in the precise moment a car came speeding down and ran her over. We live on a tiny alley street where hardly any cars ever come by. She and I had been inseparable companions in the last 3 and 1/2 years. Most of those years I had been working out of my home and she was my only companion. In June of '03 I thought that since I felt so lonely, I should consider getting a dog, man's best friend and all. One saturday I walked into a pet shop in Quakertown and she and I fell in love. She went everywhere with me. She slept with me, listened to me when I had no one to talk to, but most of all she brought me endless joy with her intelligence at learing tricks, and having fun. I have had many dogs in my life but none as cute, smart, and loving as Chiquita. Fate is funny because I had been thinking about getting her a buddy because as she was half Jack Russell Terrier and half Poodle she loved to play and be active. Last week I saw an opportunity to adopt a 15 month old male who is half Jack Russell and half Rat Terrier. I brought him home and they became fast friends. His name is Tre (pronounced Tray). Now Tre runs around the house squeeking her favorite toy, looking for her. I know that there are many more issues and things going on in the world that are more important than one dog. But to me she was an angel and a gift in my life that brought me joy so that I could do the work that is required of me. Rest In Peace Chiquita! and thank you for being the gift that you were.
