My 
Dog
Dijon, a black, poopom puppy, appeared one day at my house. She quickly earned the name, Poopie, as she very much enjoyed leaving my father a surprise on his white, fluffy bath mat. She would finish off her gift giving by quickly stretching, bowing, wagging her tail and high-tailing it out of his bathroom.
She was a ball of energy and a spitfire. At only six pounds she had opinions the size of rottweilers. She provided years of exasperation for Beau, my older Golden Retriever, but laughter for the rest of us.
We had a small farm and she thought herself the manager. She thoroughly enjoyed herding the goats, sheep, chickens and horses. She always trotted back into the house, tail held high and proud strutting.
Poopie lived with me in New York, at vet school in Massachusetts, Montauk beach and finally Manhattan. Poopie lived until she was thirteen. She was my sidekick, my comic and my stress reliever through some major life changes.
