About Pierre

This website honors the memory of my best friend, Pierre a/k/a Pip a/k/a Little Dog. Pierre was a gray Shih Tzu-Poodle mix, making him extra-crazy cute. He was born May 24, 2004. We lost him to GI lymphoma on December 30, 2019. He was 15. It is my hope that the pictures here will make you as happy as he made us.

Pierre was enthusiastic about everything; whatever we were doing was his favorite thing. He best loved hunting for tomatoes or other forbidden foods (our garden fence kept him out, not other critters), walkies, snuggles, kongs, and his brother, Jacques.

Life wasn’t always easy for Pierre. He jumped on the high-top table once and ate an entire bag of M&Ms, he sometimes got into other foods that made him feel bad (an entire bag of apples, popcorn cheese, pumpkin bars, for example). In 2017, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After three days of radiation therapy, he was in remission. Through all that, Pierre was bright-eyed and loved life. He brought joy to everyone he met. Hopefully he can continue to do so for the whole world though this site.

I have 15 years of photos, which I plan to put up in various albums. Check back often for updates.
