My BFF from Blogville Who I Never Met

I hope you don't mind I borrowed my fave pix of Payton

I am saddened almost to the point of being wordless because my dear dear BFF, Payton, is gone. She gave it her usual good fight but in the end there was nothing to be done. I never met Payton but I know she was one puggie I could always count on for a bright thought, a happy smile, and a courageous message.
I considered all of the ways I could pay tribute to this BFF I never met. A little poem? Too torn up to rhyme. A couple of good anecdotes? We never met so I have none.
Finally, I thought I would do what my Mommy #1 does on all greeting cards she gives . . . so here goes

P -  Pugnacious and Pretty and you are both
A - Always lives life to the fullest
Y- 9 Years she BEAT the ol' PDE monster
T - Tenacious, to say the least
O - Odds she beat every day she lived
N - Nice to the Nth degree

I will miss you FUR ever and will always think on you with the greatest FONDness.
