" Spunky " 1984 ---- July 29 2000
Spitz
Spunky belonged to my children's elderly grandparents,
Willard and Jimmye Floyd.
After somebody shot and killed their Spitz in their front yard in 1984
they were heartbroken. In an attempt to ease their sorrow
my husband went to the animal shelter and bought them
another Spitz that looked almost identical to their last pet
and they named her Spunky.
Spunky never did anything heroic. She never won
a ribbon in a pet show.
But Spunky was faithful to bark when the mail came
and walk to the mailbox with Mawmaw .
When Granddad would go to work in his garden she would
follow him and sit and watch him work.
Other than that you could find her curled up resting in
the corner of their carport.
She was a gentle-spirited little dog.
As she got older her teeth got bad she developed cataracts
and was nearly deaf. After a brief illness Granddad found her dead
beside his truck when he started out for work one morning.
They have been heartbroken and declare they will never love
another dog again since this hurts so much.
See ya later Spunky!
Wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge
with Snoopy and Magoo.
