After watching her health & strength decline in the past year and a half, Liuhwen & I decided that it was time to let Gracie rest peacefully. Since mid-December she has been suffering from a bad cough which even antibiotics couldn’t help so we finally decided to take her to the vet one last time.<\/p>\n

Gracie came into my world in the early summer of 2003 from my neighbor Harriet Zucker who rescued her from a Long Island shelter just in time to save her from an early end. One morning as I was getting a cup of coffee at the Blue Whiting, one of Red Hook’s several delis and Harriet prevailed upon me to look at a picture of a new dog she had just rescued. The image was looking down on a scrawny black-and-white flecked dog that looked skinny and neglected. But she looked at the camera with the cutest look and I guess I just couldn’t resist. So when Harriet asked me if I would take care of her “just for a few days” and though I had no interest in getting a dog, I relented and the rest is history…<\/p>\n

Gracie you will be missed. Good-bye!<\/p>\n
