Letters, etc., From MaryJane #5

Every evening, for the remainder of the month of November, my posts will be dedicated to the memory of my dear friend, MaryJane, who recently passed away.  I will be posting an assorted combination of excerpts of letters she wrote to me, anecdotes, and funny stories.

If you haven't already read..."Taking The Train To MaryJane", and "Visited With MaryJane Today", here are the links to do so:

This is a painting I did for MaryJane for her little Chihuahua, Sancho, a/k/a Angus, who passed away August 31, 2006.  He was around 20 years old!  MaryJane didn't raise Sancho from a pup, rather, a friend of hers, named Tina, had asked MaryJane if she could take care of Sancho for a while, while she (Tina) found a new apartment.

One week turned into two, and two weeks turned into almost one year that MaryJane took care of Sancho, without so much as a phone call from Tina to see how Sancho was doing.  So basically, Sancho became MaryJane's dog.

MaryJane told a sad, yet charming story of Sancho's demise...as she explained it...He (Sancho) woke up, stretched out, and trotted across the living room, so happy to get ready to eat his breakfast.  Mid-trot he just collapsed and never got back up.  

I think Sancho was the luckiest little dog in the world to have spent his last days of life being taken care of by a wonderful person like MaryJane!
