Suki was the Preacher's dog. She was a beautiful Bearded Collie who
lived a good long life. Suki was a regular at church functions, at
coffee hour and at all the 12-step meetings in the church hall.

Suki liked to be the center of attention. One time there was a church
meeting at her house and she realized they were talking about
something else so she went and got her biggest, noisiest, squeakiest
squeak-toy and brought it into the center of the room and played with
it until everyone told her how wonderful she was. She was also very
jealous of her daddies' attention and would bark and bark if they
talked too long to other people.

Myne mommy remembers when Suki was just a puppy. There was a church
picnic in the park. One of the young men in the church was very sick
(and went to the Bridge not long after) but he had a great time
playing with Suki. Mommy can still see the fluffy white puppy and the
young man in white trousers rolling around together in a mud puddle,
having a very happy day.

Suki lived to be about 15 years old. She had cancer for a long time,
first on her foot and then inside, and finally her daddies had to help
her to the Bridge. Lots of people knew Suki and miss her.
