Starla: our little star

14 04 2008

StarlaOur shih-tzu Starla passed away today.  She would have been 15 on her birthday in September.  She gave us the most wonderful 15 years and we were blessed to have had her in our lives.

If you are wondering about her, here is a picture of her – dressed as an Ewok for the Animal Planet Halloween Charity event and costume competition that she and Remy WON (Mark and I were just accessories, they were the show).

Our emergency back-up auxiliary dog Remy is still going strong and will miss her Starla.

Starla was named for two things – the beautiful white star on the top of her head and the beautiful song “Starla” by the Smashing Pumpkins.

She was our little star.
