Our friend Millie



Our venerable girl Millie left us today.  She turned owner, Dawn, into a trainer but by the time I met her she was pretty much perfect in every way.  Millie had a late start in show business but she appeared on Saturday Night Live in the "Of Mice and Men" parody. She will be missed by everyone at Barking Hills but especially by her owner and canine pack members.  Rest well Meemaw.
