Lovey
Date of Passing: 11/17/2024
Message to Lovey: Lovey was truly the best mini aussie ever; protective, fierce and devoted, she couldn't stop doing her job of protecting us even when her back legs were failing and she was 16.5 years old. We will miss her company, how she kept us on track and tea-ketteld at us during dinner, reminded us when it was time for her chewy, and otherwise kept us well herded.
Tell us about Lovey: Lovey came to us just as Obama was nominated for the democratic candidacy in 2008; she came with the name Lovey from her breeder. Lovey would come to the University with me everyday and tended to terrorize the students who tried to come in my office and probably scared a job candidate or two but she also grew to love many and she grew more mellow and kind with time (of course she was always a darling to us). She loved other dogs and would prance and flirt when she saw them. She will be sorely missed by us and the wider neighborhood.
