Tippy and her sister were given to her Mommie for her second birthday. Way back in 1998. She had a very hard life and her sister passed on halfway through, but the last and past three years of her life were the best yet. Her Mommie, Kari, taught her some games. She would wait for Kari at the edge of her yard and when Kari got in line with her, they would both take off. They would run to Kari’s grandmother’s house. Whoever reached the driveway first one the race. If Tippy won she would sit and wait on Kari. If Kari won, she would come down to her then roll over and show her belly, like saying “okay, you won… can I have a treat now???”. The funniest part was in the middle of the race. Tippy would literally shove her face into the ground, do a flip, and hop back up and keep running. It’s a wonder how she didn’t hurt herself!

Tippy had such a personality, and sitting here, writing this, I’m crying. For I am Tippy’s Mommie, Kari. I thank the people of “Paw Prints Pet Services” for helping us through this tough time. We loved her so much. I am thirteen now, almost fourteen, and I will never, ever, forget my forever best friend.
