Lisa and your family, Shorty was one of a kind. I am so blessed to have been able to call her my friend and neighbor. She loved Sugar and Patches, treating them as her own. I’m left with a hole in my heart that will never heal. Rest in peace sweet Shorty! Patches and I love and miss you. It’s not goodbye, just see you later.
