special dog

today's post goes out to superette's good friend lauren (a.k.a. "short & angry") whose lovable corgi-huahua, chelsea, went to the big dog park in the sky yesterday.

chelsea really was special (special ed, as her mom would say).

a short list of ann and dabney's favorite things about chelsea:

1) if, while walking across the living room floor, she encountered a paper bag, she would stop - stymied - until someone moved it for her;
2) she had a small stroke several years ago and, as a result, always leaned a little bit to the right;
3) she could wander in small circles around the yard for hours; and
4) it's clear that she and lauren were meant for one another and brought out the best in each other.
