LA Rue, will always hold a special place in my heart. She always spoke of her 3 children with such love and passion. I remember bringing my youngest dachshund-Chipper to see her and she held him and grinned. She looked up and asked me if I was giving him to her, as he was slurping her face, I let her know he was mine and that we were just visting. She looked up me and smiled and I asked her, "LA Rue just what would you do with that little puppy-all day?" She grinned and said, "I just don't know dear." In therapy/rehab. we had a wonderful time with La Rue. She was always cheerful and laughed until she would bring tears to her and our eyes.
I know I will see her in HEAVEN.
