In Memory |
Gracie had been a therapy dog since she was one year of age. She and Penny have been everywhere together. They were "regulars" at Loyola Pediatrics, Mooseheart, Ronald McDonald House, Loyola Rehab, to mention just a few. Gracie never met a person that she did not like--she was an incredibly outgoing, totally confident Sheltie. She was one of the last original cast members of the Troupe's 2004 first Nutcracker performance for the public. In 2012, Gracie starred as the Sugar Plum Fairy. She gave Penny the thrill of her life when she completed her breed championship several years ago. What an amazing and life-changing dog she was! |
