It is with great sadness that I share the news that my beloved Dudley passed away in April. She was my first dog and she taught me many life lessons. She was almost 8 years old. She is and always will be missed.

Dudley, also known as “The Queen,” was 7 years old and was the boss of the house. Cold weather was her favorite and in the summer she enjoyed the AC and her cool pad. She was not pleased when I went out of town and had been a “challenge” to our pet sitters. She loved to go for walks, hide her bones, and her favorite toy was “Mr. Hippo.”
