Off to the farm...R.I.P. Haley

She was only like the best sport ever! The perfect playmate for the only child.

:o( Ichiro and Becky had to make the very difficult decision to let Haley go yesterday. She was old and sick, and it was her time to go.

She was a very nice old dog, and was one of Kitty's and Star's best friends.

Star loved her because they had things in common like lying together on the couch ignoring each other. I like to think of it as those friends you can sit next to and not say a word and still feel like it's a great conversation. (except for that one time where she jumped on Star's face like the bunny from the Holy Grail and kicked her ass but I'm sure Star had it coming; because I love her, but she can get on your nerves like that)

And Kitty loved her because, well I don't know, he just seems to have a thing for dogs, but she never refused him a little sugar.

Not an uncommon sight back in the day


And even when her evil stepmother brought home the new baby, Haley was very welcoming and happy to have a playmate to stiff arm and shove under the couch cuddle with.
She was a very sweet dog, and even though she threw up every time she drank water, snorted LOUDLY all the time, and was given to random beagle-esque bloodcurdling howling sessions in the middle of the night after sneaking up onto your pillow and damn near giving you a heart attack at 3 in the f*cking morning when you're already weirded out because you're in a strange house with strange noises, she will be missed.

That's how sweet she was. :o(
