The Passing Of Our Beloved Four-Legged Fashionista
"Miss Thing"
9-18-1998 ~ 5-4-2011
"Miss Thing" a purebred Pekingese, was born on September 9th, 1998. She passed away on May 4th, where her Veterinarian discovered she was diagnosed with a latter stage of Lung Cancer. Her owner a long time Manhattan resident of the West Village, Kathy Bendersky, loved her precious pooch so much she had to show her off to the rest of the neighborhood. Not only did Kathy treat "Miss Thing" as her pet, but a loving member of the family. Back when dogs were quietly allowed into Tavern on Jane, in the West Village, "Miss Thing" and other dogs would rest their paws on the bar after a long hard day with their owners at their place of business, playing catch or running after an occasional squirrel. "Miss Thing" would always strut her stuff showing off the latest in doggie fashion, onlookers would turn their heads on the street, even dogs would do a double take.
Like the Westminster Dog Show, "Miss Thing" was always entered in a different type of contest, a Fashion Show, where she won awards for Fashion, Style and Beauty. Sure enough, "Miss Thing" always came home with a Gold Medal. Her owner, Kathy was always ecstatic, that, in one part of her apartment on Jane St. was adorned with Ribbons, Achievements and other awards making her Top Dog. Kathy gives the accolades to her doggie designer Phyllis Capp for all of "Miss Things" award winning fashion breakthroughs
"Miss Thing" loved to take strolls in her pink stroller, while her owner Kathy would run errands, her favorite hot spots were Bon Signour, The Art Bar and especially her local watering hole Tavern on Jane.
For everyone who knew Kathy and her beloved "Miss Thing", she will always be known as the "Diva" of The West Village. She would've turned 12 years old last Sunday and Kathy still celebrated her glamorous pooch's Birthday with long time existing memories and tears.
