"Clover" My first work, for Diana

Clover was a tiny little thing.

She was picked up stray by Animal Control and rescued by a friend that could not let them "put her down". Karen called me in a panic from the shelter one morning, " Tammie" she said, " there is this little dog at the shelter, could you please take her.......They are about to put her down because they do not know what to do with her, and I can't keep her at my house".

Site unseen I took her in. I thought she was adorable, but not everyone agreed with me. I had her for months then came Diana.

Diana fell for Clover right away. She lives in Virginia Highlands and drove down one day to meet little Clover. I was so happy because at that time I was keeping 20-30 dogs here and Clover really needed more attention than I could give her. It was love at first sight for Diana and Clover, (well at least for Diana). Clover did not show very much emotion just an occasional lick.

Diana was so good for Clover and I think Clover was good for Diana.

Clover is gone now, but Diana and I are friends to this day.

This "tiny little thing" we called Clover, will always have a place in my heart.
