Grits, the Dog of the Day
Name: Grits
Age: Deceased, 13.5 years old
Gender: Male Breed: West Highland White Terrier
Home: North Carolina, USA
 
   This is my sweet Westie, Grits. Although he was thirteen and a half, I still considered him a puppy. He was always spunky and ran around the back yard chasing squirrels. He always stood at the door waiting for you as soon as he'd hear your car pull in the driveway. He was loving and affectionate.

    During September of 2004, we discovered he had bladder cancer and the doctors told us he'd have three months to a year to live. Well, Grits surpassed the odds and lived for another year and a half until March 6, 2006. It's extremely hard to lose something so close to your family. He was like a little brother to me. It still think about him every day.
