My name is Sally. I am a 7 y.o. Dachshund/Chihuahua mix. Dorothy always called me Baby Dog. We got to know each other when she came to stay with us in Panama City, FL. Every day I would sit in her lap as we shared ice cream and cookies. She rubbed my belly and gave me hugs. Three other dogs live here, but I was her favorite. We loved each other very much and I miss her already.

I had the pleasure of spending some time with Dorothy recently. Her love and devotion to her family was so strong and enduring. She had a very kind, loving and generous spirit. She was one of those truly rare people who never met a stranger and instinctively knew how to make others feel comfortable and at ease. I will miss her and am grateful for the time I had with her.

It was an honor to care for her these past months allowing my granddaughter to know more intimately my grandmother. What a blessing.
