Duchess was a great dog. She was very smart, but also very stubborn!! She loved to attack the vacuum cleaner, blow dryer, stapler, pretty much anything that made noise!! She loved to chase the squirrels in our yard. She had a loving grandmother, Aunt and 4 cousins, who all loved her very much. There were 2 other dogs and 4 cats she shared her home with. She was the first of all of them. She was always "TOP DOG"! She will be missed so much. But now she is at peace.
