The bad news... I'll clarify years later... was that it was time to send
The Missile onwards.
Cinnamon Stick @ Lake Michigan; Labor Day, 2009
Seventeen years ago today, a pure-bred Boston Terrier puppy, with almost perfect markings, was born in a TN breeding kennel. They named her 'Cinnamon Stick' after her very beautiful and very rich brown coat.
A few weeks later she was shipped off, for well into four figure$$$$, to a wealthy man in LA's San Fernando Valley. Less than a year later, he relinquished the completely wild little doggy to the local Boston Rescue. He said an older female dog was "beating the puppy up".
That chillingly sad little note is all we'll ever know about Cinnamon's puppy-hood. Of course, we know even less about Sabo's (
the new dog) puppy-hood.
What we do know is that she turned out OK. She later earned the title, and became known as, '
The Missile'. In her own way, she was an extraordinary dog, and famously popular. More important...
She was a good little dog.
