Tessie was with me my whole intire life of growing up, where ever I was, Tessie was with me, she'd be on the horses with me, on the tractor, bikes. She was always included with the family gatherings and she came with us camping. She had her very special little tricks she'd do and we will never foget- she would wait on the top of the couch for the kids to come home, mom would tell her "kids are home!!" and she would run down the driveway and meet us. she knew alot of words, treat, horse ride, car ride and would get so excited to go with us. She was my baby and my girl forever. She lived for 18 1/2 years and seen me and my twin brother grow up, start school, and finish school and she lived for 6 years after we were done school and moved away from home. Tessie is still missed alot, the house seems so empty when I go home, there are no little feet on the ground, or someone scratching on you to pick her up, and no barks any more to be let outside. The memories of Tessie will always be with me. I got her name tattooed on me so that she will be with me forever, until I see her again one day.
