For me that is some place close to nature. This was taken at the most beautiful water fall in Oregon.

Mamasan at Rest


Here is Mama in her final stop before she reaches that great food bowl in the sky. Her grave is so tiny.
Really miss you Mama.

Mamasan was the best dog in the world

We came home from our trip to find our most precious little Mama dead. She was in the house and it appeared as if she had not been there for too long. It was & is so very sad. She was only about 3 pounds but she filled a large part of our home with her love.
Mama was happy. She was just a happy content dog. Her needs were few and she loved everyone.
I took out our other dog for a sniff in the front of the house today and called Mama's name. I had forgotten she was gone. My other dog is having a very hard time with Mama being gone. He wont eat. He does a low little whine and looks around for her. They were best friends and he was little Mamas protector.
Mamasan was 12 years old. Yet she was so small and so playful, people always asked me if she was a puppy. The last time I saw Mama we had a fun little game of fetch. She did not like to fetch so what she did was stay on the sidelines and bark and run around while her buddy Duke did the fetching. Then she would yell at him if he got too close to her.
She loved to sleep on my lap and she would come running when I would say "sofa time". She was soft as a bunny.
In the video above Mama is eating a bone. She loved this! Mamasan only had about 5 teeth left so the fact she would work so diligently on a bone was really amazing. She would get every last scrap of meat off of it. Mama was the best bone picker and would have had no problem getting her share of food.
Mamasan and Food. No memorial for Mama would be complete without telling of her love of food. She never met a morsel she didn't like. Her favorites were: tea with honey & cream, meat of any kind, banana, yogurt, sweet potato, butter & cream. Mama was a great plate licker and had a huge tongue for her size. She was not afraid to belly up to the bar.
Mama was not afraid of anything. As tiny as she was she was just fearless. She was not aggressive in anyway, she was just not afraid to check things out. I used to look at her and think, she is so tiny, how can she feel so comfortable in this big world. She had just a sweet and special way about her that I will never forget. I miss her. She was my dog and I loved her.
Rest in Peace Sweet Little Mama, Rest in Peace.
