maroni was the sweetest baby there ever was. i got her when she was one and a half years old. she never did one thing wrong. i loved her so very much. i could not believe she was eleven years old. my first dog died at 14 years, he died on sept 17 1997. a year and a half later i got maroni....she was a year and a half old. i didnt find out until later that her birthday was sept. 17, 1997!!!!! she died on sept 21 2008. that is so creepy to me. my heart is broken, and i will survive. i have to decide if i want to do this again,,,,,,,,it hurts so bad when they go. it wasnt pretty.
