[Dudley's Mom]

3 pound ball of fire. He had the greatest personality I ever saw. He would want to play ball with you and then after you threw the ball he would look at you as if to say Well go get it. He wasn't much of a barker at all. He would bark if someone came to the house but then he was quiet. He loved everyone but not so much other dogs. He loved Mitchell, his poodle brother, and would give him kisses, which Mitchell did NOT appreciate. He would lay on my lap all morning and nap but all afternoon and evening he was on the go, a mile a minute until bed time. He was such a lover to me and when he was sick he would come over to me and look at me as if to say, Fix it Mommy. He had some trouble with his esophagus and I would have to squirt water down his throat to clear the obstruction and then he would be fine. He never failed to come to me so I could see he was in trouble. He would only play with yellow toys. I would buy him really cute toys but if they weren't yellow, don't even bother. He would only eat rolled food from Natural Balance and nothing else. Even when he was dying he would eat that and nothing else. He was clear down to 2 3/4 pounds when he passed away in my arms. I lost my best friend that day. That is part of what I remember. He made me laugh every day with his little antics. I see a lot of that same personality in my puppy Mickey so I pray he will be mine for a long while longer. Thank you for asking. His favorite place to hang out was in the sunny corner of my patio. I put his little stone marker there to remember him lying there.
