Pookie was my parent's dog. They got her after I, being the youngest child, had left home and gone to school 2 states away. I was jealous. I called her "My Replacement" for quite awhile. She fulfilled a need and a longing that my parents had and I could no longer fill. For instance I couldn't hug my Mom, but Pookie could snuggle up to and kiss her and make her feel loved (not the same, I know). My sisters and I called her "our younger sister". She was spoiled, but deserved it. She never saw anyone as a stranger. She would lick and love everyone. She was born without a tail, but had a little nub that wagged even more and longer than any dog I know that had a tail. She traveled to many states and stayed close to my parents wherever they went.She has and always will be my favorite dog. She was greatly loved and will be dearly missed. 2001-2010.
Awwwww, Pookie Boo was devoted and could never hurt a flea. She was a true sweetheart. Just think, I had *three* replacements. Thank you for your post, Paige! Love you!
