Queenie was a stray Chihuahua-terrier mix that we found on a rainy and cold night in November of 2004. From our first encounter, we knew she was a feisty little dog since she would not let us catch her and it took several attempts to finally get her! Initially our intention was to rescue her for another family. We had a nine-year old Corgi mix and did not know how Stubby would react to another dog. In the end, Queenie became part of our family and an excellent companion to her sister.
Queenie filled up the house with joy and excitement. She was always ready and happy to go for a car ride and long trips. She also loved to stay in the car until we had to bring her in at nights. She was little but she sure had the “Napoleon complex” and was never afraid to face off any cat or dog, regardless of their size.
A picky eater, she would always smell the food thoroughly before taking a bite and if she did not like it she would bark at us to let us know. Her favorite foods were ground beef and beef jerky which we made in the Air Fryer. Bananas and some veggies did not pass her smell test.
Queenie never lost her appetite despite her age. However, as her health deteriorated we made the painful decision to let her go comfortably and peacefully at home surrounded by the people who loved her.
Queenie, we miss you greatly and we thank you for the many years of your unconditional love. We will treasure the time we shared together and you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace, little Queenie.

P.S. Thank you Faithful Companion for bringing Queenie back to us so quickly as you did with Stubby in 2009.
