I am sad to hear of Winnie’s passing. She was a good friend to me when I first moved to Yellow Springs back in the late ’70s. We had quite an experience together when my Airedale terrier had a litter of puppies. Winnie had been dog sitting and house sitting for me and she told me she really wanted to be there when Lucy had her pups. I called her in the middle of the night when things started happening and she came to help. At one point, Lucy wanted to go out and I made the mistake of letting her go out into my fenced backyard. She decided to have a puppy under the back porch (it was the middle of winter and really cold). Winnie and I ended up tearing boards out of the porch in order to get at the freezing puppy and bring it into the warm house. One of the books I had read to learn about how to help out when a dog was whelping suggested getting some brandy. It was to be used to help revive a weak puppy, but was also to help the “midwives”. Winnie and I shared a dram! She was a wonderful friend!
