My cousin Theresa was ten years older than me so I really don't have memories to share. My mother was Theresa's Godmother and told this story. Uncle Chuck and Aunt Millie had a dog named Billy. Billy had a bone and was chewing it under the kitchen table. Theresa crawled under the table and took the bone from Billy and started to chew on it, too. My sympathies to Theresa's family. May she rest in peace.
