feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return. loved each
and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was
sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.

saw a tear in her eyes.
