Woofin was our first dog. We got her as a puppy the 2nd week we got home from our honeymoon. She was a rascal but you couldn't help but love her. We were unable to have a child for the first 71/2 years of our marriage so she was our baby. She loved to go for walks and was a very good dog. Not too good around strangers but once she got to know you she loved you. When our son was born , she slept under his crib and guarded him all day like he was her pup. She had been spayed when she was 6 months old so she never had pups herself. She had a seizure when she was 16 years old and never was the same after that. Walking became painful and she lost control of her bowels. We couldn't stand to see her in pain so my husband and I took her to the vet to be put down. I held her in my arms until she had passed away. She was a wonderful dog .
