Our most senior senior, Miss Brandilu went to the Rainbow Bridge on Saturday morning. This June 28th she would have been 19. The past 2 months have been difficult for her and her family as her strength and mobility failed her to the point that she was eating lying down. But prior to that she was still poking her Mom in the leg to get a move on with her dinner and chasing lizards around the pool. 
Miss Brandilu was briefly known as Maranda/Miranda (depending on my typing) when I decided that if you have put 3 owners in nursing homes and been known as Brandy all your life, there's no sense in changing at this point! What a DIVA! This senior dog learned all the diva tricks that Silky could teach her --and we wondered what they did while I was at work--so when the "couch potato" crossed the street in the Williams arms to her forever home (across the street), she whipped out that tiara and proceeded to rule her new domain. She didn't take disrespect from anybody including nose bites on a Gordon Setter mix and Heidi, her 26 pound Cairn rescue sister. Brandy's top weight was 14 pounds soaking wet.
Vicki R was her original CP foster mom and then she came to me in one of Monika's transports from Kentucky, where Alice was her transport mate coming from Lynells. What an incredible circumstance that both of them went to the Rainbow Bridge just a day apart. These ladies touched so many lives, so many hearts and made such great spokeswomen for CP and all the great things that our volunteers do everyday. Each of these seniors lived a great and fun 4+ years in their forever homes!
Candles are lit for Brandi to reunite with Alice, Ethel; and Ann and her former owners who made sure she was well placed when they could no longer take care of her.
