She'd be your potty protector
She'd always check the ground under the plum tree for plums
She'd bite Jeremy but not Shana
She'd wait for you to go inside the house before she would
She'd be in bed by 8:00 p.m.









She'd snuggle beside us at sunrise
She was a great hugger and kisser
She'd get down when the alarm went off so she wouldn't get caught
She'd put her paws on the keyboard when you were typing
She'd stick her nose under my arm while I was driving
She'd stick her butt up in the air and put her head on your lap
She'd let you know if there was food on the counter
If there was poop on the ground she'd rub her cheek in it
She hated being wet...but loved the snow









She loved to sing with the harmonica
She'd growl to tell you how displeased she was
She'd run beside the jeep when we went 4-wheeling
She never barked or howled
She'd sleep with her head under the bed
She'd play fetch a couple of times and then thought that you should
start getting the ball
She'd let you put your things down before licking and jumping on you
When she got a thorn she'd look to you to pull it out
The only things to be afraid of in life were vacuums and clothes hampers
She loved car rides, bike rides and walks
She'd walk on top of the wall at the park
She'd lay under you while you ate, waiting for scraps to fall
She was impossible to potty train
She'd wait by the bathroom door while you were taking a shower
She loved playing peek-a-boo
She'd sleep on the couch if the cushions weren't up








She'd get into the bedroom trash at least 3 times a day
She'd lay her ears back in remorse when scolded
She loved treats at bedtime
Shana would throw two treats in the yard before heading off to work
She was a low squatter when peeing
Sometimes she squatted ten different times before peeing
She attacked a police dog
She had to know what was going on












She'd leave her hair everywhere
She destroyed eight pairs of shoes
She liked to smell burps
She would put up with anything I'd do to her
She could pull me up a hill while on my bike
She thought old ladies with umbrellas and hot air balloons were strange
She would sleep on a camping chair whenever she could
She loved having her head out the window on a Sunday drive
She knew what get in the car meant and what get in the Jeep meant









She'd catch snowballs in her mouth
She liked the leaf blower to be pointed on her
She'd stand between my legs when I would dry off her back legs
She felt degraded when she did the treat on the nose trick
She liked to crawl under the bed and sleep whenever she would fit
She'd lick the water from your hands in the shower
She'd clean our plates
She loved pancakes and peanut butter
If you left food on the counter too long she'd eat it
She'd roll her ball under the couch so we would have to get it
She'd expect you to walk over her cause she wasn't getting up
She loved to tear the bark off tree limbs
When she enjoyed chewing her eyes would close
She'd lean all her weight on Shana in bed










After a shower she would run like the wind
Before a shower she was a giant mass of stubborn fur
She growled at kids
She loved adult
On weekdays she was fine staying at home
On the weekends she thought she needed to go wherever we were going
She knew when we were getting ready for a walk
She'd roll over on her back in the mornings and make us late for work
while petting her belly
She'd say please for a treat










Here's to you CJ, you were loved and always will be.
