Tess

[riesiel]

I remember the day Tess came to us. My parents had gone out to visit someone, and I was the designated babysitter. When they came home they brought in with them a tiny little red and black puppy, who cowered under the table as Cody, our rough sable and white collie, tried to check her out

This recollection breaks my heart...for you and Tess...I hope she was happy in the end. I still feel an empty place for some dog-friends in my life. <3

I hope she was too. I miss her.

Lady Contessa from Dawn Cook's Decoy Princess books? :) If you haven't read those, you should.

No, Tess the church mouse in Brian Jacques Mattimeo. I am a die hard Brian Jacques fan.

Tess!

So, how sad is this, I never knew her name was actually Lady Contessa... I totally thought it was just Tess.
I hope Tess ended up in a good home - poor little doggy. I thought the dogs got loose because our stupid neighbor was tearing down a tree and the equipment jacked up our fence causing the dogs to escape. I can't totally remember, but that's what I thought. That was such a sad day when she got hit!! There was blood all over, poor girly. I felt so bad for her. I miss Tess. I miss all of the dogs actually...

I think on that day it might have been the case, I do know though that Kyren did dig under the fence and manage to get out with all the other dogs. But I think you are right about that day. Stupid neighbor.
