More: Curly came to me after my mother passed away in 2012. Mom, never an animal lover, would have been quite insulted at having been “replaced” by a dog. BUT, they share the same soulful brown eyes, and unlimited capacity for love. She later kept me somewhat sane when my husband died prematurely, 3 years later. She is my doorbell, my security system, my fitness trainer, my huntress, and my best friend. Life is so much better with my crazy, wonderful, Curly Sue!
