ShantisMom Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Today my parents had to say goodbye to Willie, their cockapoo of 17 years. Old age got to him. He got his name because he took all our shoes when he was little and my parents liked Willie Shoemaker the jockey. He was quite the character! Hard to believe he had to go!!! Godspeed little man. We will miss you greatly...until we meet again. Quote The Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShantisMom Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 As I cried yesterday, I am laughing a bit today. As I did with Kona, I asked him to send us a sign he made it okay. Again, what better than shoes??? I go out to clean the back yard and one of my flip flops I wear is gone. I cannot find it! Now I know he personally did not do it. I suspect Banjo as I caught her with another shoe this morning. But it makes me laugh, and smile. Glad you are okay Willie! Thanks for letting us know!

ShantisMom Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Any chance we could have some pix of this sweetie? Run free and pain-free, Willie Shoetaker. I can't find any. Sad huh! I lived with him 14 years ago, I was not as camera happy then. Mom and Dad have never been camera happy. I am betting they do it more now though. We are going there tonight. It will be different.
