Pepper was a chatterbox who liked to wander around talking to herself or anyone who would listen. She was always up for a hike to the beach where she would chase the balls and go out into the waves so she could pretend to be swimming. She was a great companion to her 'sister' Brenna and they were never too far apart, like a set of bookends when they took up their positions on the sunroom sofa. 

“If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.”
