R.I.P. Quincy

We lost a sweet little soul on Wednesday night.  Our dear Quincy passed on suddenly and with no warning.

Quincy was Steve and I's first co-responsibility.  She was our first baby, as some would say.  We had lots of fun with Quincy over the years and loved her huge.  She was a spunky and sometimes (ok, often) bratty little devil with a load of sassy personality.  She was full of energy right up to the end.

When Ruby came along, Quincy was very unimpressed.  She preferred to be a one dog show, with no competition for attention.  After a close call with another child, we knew we had to find a solution.  Steve's mom and dad had always adored Quincy and they happily "adopted" her.  Quincy was very happy and content with Steve's parents and when Steve's dad passed, she was a constant and loving companion to Steve's mom.

I'm very thankful to Steve's mom for providing her with the quality of life over her last years that she wanted and deserved.

Our whole family loved Quincy and we're all heartbroken that she's gone.  She will be dearly missed.

I've wondered a few times how Quincy was doing. I'm sorry to hear of her passing.
