Scarlet

Scarlet has been a member of our family for seven years. Like most Labs, she was full of energy. She never passed up an opportunity to join her dog buddies for a swim at the dog park, ride in the car with her face out the window against the wind, or for a game of fetch-the-ball, or stick, or duck. She loved her stuffed duck. She liked to hear it "quack," and then rip it to shreds, but I think she derived more pleasure from Randy pretending she was actually a trained hunting dog who would retrieve ducks on command, but she was really just tricking him into getting a game of fetch going. Scarlet was always a very protective, loving dog who was instant friends with anybody who would scratch her ears or rub her belly. Her energy will live on as she frolicks in pet heaven with Molly, who greeted her with a tennis ball, Buddy, who chased around the pearly gates in excitement, and Tuffy, who greeted her with a love-swat across the nose and then curled up beside her. She was a good dog. She had a big smile and an even bigger heart that can never be forgotten.

Did she go early? I thought it wasn't until today, did I miss a phone call from mom telling me the bacon and ham party was cancelled? I can't be sure of anything anymore. RIP Scarlet!

Gee whiz sissy, you make it sound like an execution. And btw, the "hot dogs and a lb of bacon" party took place as planned.
