2009-2025

Nickname: Dingus, Baby Girl, and Lil Sh*t (when she was being feisty)
Favorite foods: Cheese and chicken nuggets
Favorite toy: She would destroy squeaker toys! I got the “tough chewer” ones and she would still go through them.
Favorite activity: Sunbathing, licking, and cuddling
Favorite memory together: I moved a lot during the time I had her and she was the best companion. We did so many roadtrips, and she moved here from the West Coast with me.

She marked her territory all over the country and was always ready to hop in the car and go wherever. She was also protective and feisty and would go after dogs four times her size.

How did you meet your pet? I got her from Pet Matchmaker, a rescue in California. I was looking for a Boston Terrier, and they contacted me as soon as they had one. I drove down from Seattle to get her.

I sat in the backseat with her on the drive home, and she slowly started inching closer to me until she was eventually sitting in my lap. We were bonded from then on.

She was with me for the start of my career, moving across the country, meeting my husband, and having my son. We were together for 11 years, and I’ll be grateful for her forever.
