(ADOPTED in 2002 and went to the Rainbow Bridge on October 2011) She was the sweetest, smartest, most wonderful dog I’d ever known and was my companion on many trips and to work most days. She was always ready to go anywhere, welcomed all guests whatever their species, comforted those in distress, played enthusiastically when invited. The only thing I ever knew to trouble her was on the rare occasions she wasn’t allowed to go with me to run an errand or to work. She’d express her displeasure by dumping over the kitchen trash anytime.
