On July 3 (Jim's and my anniversary), my sister's little dog, Jasmine, aka Jassy, passed away. She was the sweetest little Papillon and I was very sad to hear of this news. I had just seen her on Monday of that week. She had been diagnosed with collapsing trachea the previous year but apparently an enlarged heart is what finally did in her little body. She was always the best girl and had tail wags and kisses to greet you. She was beyond adorable when, at Christmas, she pranced around in her "Christmas dress" fully aware of how cute she was - the applause and laughter she got were probably a clue, too.
Jassy was almost 11 1/2 years old. She left us way too soon and she will be greatly missed.
