Thanks guys.
I've enjoyed hearing about some of your pets too. No matter how much it might hurt when they pass it is worth knowing them. They enrich your lives in ways that you don't even realize until they are gone.
Gracie was the ruler over our tiny toy poodle in our house. Once when the dog was sitting on the back of the couch, watching out the window, she saw someone walking by and began barking. Dad was snoozing in his recliner and hubby was trying too in a nearby chair. Dad yelled at the dog to shut-up. Of course the rat didn't. Gracie got up, walked the length of the cough, and smacked the dog on the head, then calmly walked back and flopped down, miffed cause she had to shut the dog up (and succeeded). Hubby still likes to talk about that. Says "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it."
Been remembering a few other things about her. Her nicknames were many and strange. Lumpectomy (dunno how it started), Monsienorita (started when I was learning spanish from mom and Grandma tried to teach me some French too), and roadkill (anyone who's seen a cat snoozing in complete relaxation can relate to this one).
