A memory came to mind about my feisty Aunt when she lived in the country tending to her outdoor dogs. I was a child when we went to visit Aunt Esther and her family on the farm. I was outside with her when she fed her three country dogs. One of her dogs was extremely aggressive at feeding time where he hogged all the food. She decided that next time she would teach this particular one a hot lesson to not eat all the food.
There was plenty for all to eat, but this particular dog was so fast at eating up all the food that the others got none.
She peppered the heck out of the meat that she would serve for their supper. Like expected here he came to gobble up the entire meal. He did what he always did when being fed. Faster than you can imagine the large serving was gone like that and the other dogs got nothing. After he gobbled up the entire meal he began to do a dog dance shaking his head and smacking his mouth.
Off he went one hot dog.
She resides in heaven these days and will be missed by all that loved her,

Awww.... the last few funerals I attended, I noticed that was the current thing, to ask if people wanted to speak. My sis in law, who is not bashful, popped up to speak at her aunt's funeral, because of the awkward silence. She told me later that she had no idea what to say, but would be "damned" if she was going to let Aunt Hilda go without a few words. I admire her for that. :-)) I have never spoke up at a funeral, but I guess we need to always be prepared ahead of time, just in case. I like your aunt's photo!
What a wonderful and "feisty" aunt that loved a lot of pepper in her food as much as in her life for what I see! You were so fortunate to have a lovely aunt in your life dear friend. I'm sure you are gonna miss her greatly. I always wanted to have an aunt, but mother is an only girl with three bros.
Receive my condolences to you and your aunt's family.

What a sweet memory.
