"Susie"
was our first champion and hence the name of our Kennel - Sosuemei. Lynda Torrence,
professional handler, not only finished "Susie's" championship but taught us a
great deal about grooming and handling. For that, we will always be grateful.
"Susie" was a tough girl,
right until the day that she died. She could hold the boys, "Rubbles"
& "Tux", in their place, yet she apsolutely adored them. She adored
the kids and would especially love joining them on the snow hill, watching for them on
Hallowe'en, fetching her gifts under the Christmas Tree and sneaking off with the toilet
paper roll.
She was never able to have puppies
and at 6 years of age she was diagnosed with mammory cancer with a minimal probability of
survival. Much to everyones surprise she fulfilled our lives for another 9 years
only to give up when her companion "Tux" died. |
