At approximately 7:45 yesterday morning, a great friend of over 7 years leaves 23 year old Candice Scatliff stranded on the roadside while en route to an important appointment. "I knew this was coming" said Scatliff, "she just hasn't been acting her normal self for a few months now." Apparently, the beginning of the end of this relationship began shortly after the beginning of another relationship in Scatliff's life. "It was around the time that I met Tom," Scatliff's now husband, "that she really started to deteriorate." Yet, the friend still remained loyal during the last few months of life, even moving to Montreal with the newlyweds - against doctors orders. "The move was hard on her. A change in climate can have such a huge impact on health."
Known by most simply as "The Road-Runner", the 16 year old with 299000kms will be missed for her spontaneous smells, cracked windshield, two-speaker sound system, and - most definitely - her one tire that just could not hold a hubcap. Scatliff cherishes many fond memories and takes solace in the fact that her loyal friend will be laid to rest on French soil. The Protégé is home.

Sympathies on your loss. Protege will be sadly missed.
"My Little Pony" hasn't had a chance to cause Lyla grief, we have spent so little time together in the last 3.5 months. There was a period where she was ill about 4 months ago, however, a visit with Dr. Patch and she was as good as new, the last time I checked in with her. Maybe she is looking for a new home...is Quebec calling her name?
