Tippy was a Collie who belonged to the people in the end apartment of our building. He was a brave soul (as long as it was not thundering) who helped us to fight the alien menace. He enjoyed dog biscuits and I heard from the rumor mill that he also enjoyed pizza, but as we never fed him any I am unsure of this. He also enjoyed shaking hands and having his furry ears scratched. He had a seeming love for cats, which he used to infiltrate their society and learn their secrets. I have many fond memories of Tippy, many of which include him whinning outside our door when ever it thundered, and then of course The-Short-One or Charlie would let him in until the storm had passed. I also remember when Charlie taught him to sit with the aid of expensive dog biscuits, and when The-Short-One and her "friend" were going to go into business making and selling dog biscuits he ate their creations with out a single complaint. He also did not get into the trash or tear things up in anyway, and he was housed trained. Tippy's demise happened on the dangerous highway that our building sits next to. he was hit crossing th road in the night to visit one of his many dog friends who lived across the highway. We will all miss Tippy, especially when it rains.
