In Memory of
Bella Heath
Bella came to us as a foster on February 12, 2023 which was a rainy Superbowl Sunday. She was approx 8-9 years old and was not in good shape. We were told she was a breeder dog which didn’t turn out too well breeding and then was turned into a rescue. Her previous owner, who adopted her passed away and the family could not keep her. She was 92 pounds, had skin issues, didn’t play with any toys, and didn’t seem socialized at all. My other SEVA golden (Nash) took to her immediately and taught her the golden life. She eventually started to come out of her shell, started chewing on bones, and playing with toys. She shadowed everything he did and even started “wrestemania” fights with him. Although her best strength eventually was begging, we managed to get her weight down to 65 pounds where it needed to be and kept it there. Our family decided to adopt her and after becoming a Facebook celebrity with all of her accomplishments she was voted the Cover Girl for the 2024 SEVA calendar. She also participated in a few SEVA events with her boyfriend Nash. Her favorite human was her dad, Mike. Everyone knows, we never have enough time with our special fur babies and Bella was no exception. After being with us for a short period of 2 1/2 years, she developed an aggressive cancer and failed quickly. The day we helped her cross rainbow bridge, I remember telling myself that I will never regret giving her the best 2+ years of her life and would do it again 100 times even if I knew what the outcome come would be. We miss her every day and she will always have a special place in our hearts. Rest in Peace Princess Bella. 7/16/25
Max Walker
Imagine a dog suddenly removed from his home and taken to a shelter, where he was so anxious and terrified the shelter personnel asked SEVA GRREAT to take him in. After his new fosters picked him up from the vet, he was too scared to get out of the car at his new foster home. His first weeks were full of uncertainty – his collar tag clinked on his food dish and he went fleeing into the bedroom. Any strange noises or movements caused him to freeze. Over time, he learned the world wasn’t such a terrible place (unless there was thunder or fireworks – they were always absolutely horrid!) and he could relax and start to be more like a real dog and enjoy life, especially after he got a new little sister pup to help him navigate and explore things.
We (his fosters) officially added him to the family and let Max be Max. Gradually he slowly learned how to roll, at first putting only his nose on the ground and wiggling it around, then the side of his head, then his shoulder, then rolling half way (yikes!), then finally figuring it out. The first time he lifted his leg to pee on a tree, he lifted his front leg — on the opposite side! He loved going in the car and getting treats from the neighbors on walks. He didn’t like water and wasn’t interested in dog toys. He was such a beautiful boy that cars would stop and comment. He was a big barker, announcing anything that came within his field of vision.
Max was also a resource guarder — if he had something he considered precious, he would bite to protect it, sometimes before we even realized he had anything at all. After a serious bite early on, the rescue’s option was euthanasia or for us to keep him ourselves. We chose Max. It took time and real effort for me to get past being afraid of him, but he was worth it, and watching him settle into trusting us was one of the most rewarding things I’ve experienced as a foster.
At 10 years old, after being with us for over nine years, he developed a mass in his stomach. Additional scans also revealed a decaying area in his hip. When he was no longer interested in eating and had difficulty standing and walking, on July 15th we made the agonizing choice to let him go. RIP sweet boy – you will always be in our hearts. We love you, you big fruit loop!
Delilah Strzelecki
Our sweet little Delilah crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 30, 2026, 9 days after her 14th birthday. She bravely fought 2 types of aggressive cancer (hemangiosarcoma and MCT), and she did it with a smile on her face and with her contagious love for life shining through her beautiful bright eyes.
We adopted Delilah right before she turned 2 years old, and we were honored to enjoy 12 wonderful years with her. She introduced us to so many things…she loved the water and took every opportunity to participate in dock diving, she did agility at the Richmond SPCA for the last 8 years and earned almost 350 “clean run ducks”, she passed her Odor Recognition Test for Nosework, and she did Paws for Reading and Paws for Health therapy work. She logged tons of running miles around Richmond with us in multiple running groups, and always loved being in the middle of the pack surrounded by her people. She was smart, beautiful, athletic, sweet, and happy…she was the total package. And she was always up for any and every adventure.
The void she leaves in our hearts and our lives is huge, but the joy that she brought to us is even larger. Rest in Peace my little monkey.
River Barbeau
It’s with a heavy heart today 3/13/26, that we say “so long til we meet again in heaven” River.
All the way from Turkey in 2017, you stole our hearts & picked us as your mom & dad. You taught us patience, perseverance & unconditional love. Who can forget when you almost body slammed a squirrel, trying to protect us from black crows & heavy construction equipment, your love of golf cart rides & knowing every treat giving house in the neighborhood.
You traveled with us everywhere we went, never spent a night away from us & easily adapted to RV travel, loving every new adventure. You were the village ambassador & will be missed & never forgotten. Til we see you again, Love Mom, Dad & “the village”.
Sheba Sumner
After cancerous masses were removed, the timeline for Sheba was six months. She had other ideas. Her almost furless body began to grow beautiful cream locks. She knew her forever foster home was her kingdom, and she ruled it well. Everyone loved Sheba!
For almost two years I was her forever foster. There was nothing I would not do for her including learning about the Chinese way of feeding dogs with cancer. Nothing was ever refused by my gorgeous girl especially her last meal given by her vet tech which consisted of crushed Oreo cookies, bacon, and whipped cream with a muffin on the side.
Sheba graces the cover of this year’s calendar, a reminder of the dedication of this amazing nonprofit.
Cancer won the final battle overtaking her lower GI so that for the last three days she could only strain to defacate.
I held her close during her final moments knowing that the gift of peace was the last thing I could do for her.
Her spirit will always be with me.
Ruby Knapp
Our hearts are broken with the passing of our beautiful little girl Ruby on Friday morning 12/27/24. Another victim of cancer.
She came to SEVA GRREAT at about age 7 from a backyard breeder where she was living under terrible conditions. Ruby was very shy with chronic ear infections, skin problems, poor teeth and was heart worm positive. We picked the little redhead up from her foster home on 7/11/21 and were very excited to make her part of our family. One of our goals was to give her all the love we could to at least try to make up for what she didn’t have in her past. Although we were hopeful that we would have more time to accomplish this than we did, we could see the results. Soon she rewarded us with her love and would seek us out for treats, head and belly rubs or just to be near.
We thought Ruby would like a sister and on 2/14/22 we adopted Khloe, an exuberant 3-year-old, also from SEVA. They grew to love each other and were a perfect fit. Never a cross word between them. They loved their twice a day walks with all the smells and sites. Ruby was an accomplished turtle hunter and could smell a turtle in the ditch from 30 feet. You could hear her teeth clanging as she retrieved it unharmed! Our walks would occasionally turn into a “raslin match” often instigated by “The Rubes”!
She eventually learned to trust more and would approach just about anyone that she thought might offer a treat or a little rub on the head. She always loved to be around other dogs and looked forward to seeing her dog cousins. I feel no matter how much I write it will never be enough to convey what a special little girl Ruby is. I guess you had to be there. We love her very much and miss her immensely. There will never be another Ruby.
Thanks very much to SEVA GRREAT for rescuing Ruby and Khloe, giving us the opportunity to make these girls family. Also a special thank you to her wonderful foster parents that helped Ruby so much to prepare for her forever home.
Ika Clemens
Ika was not technically a SEVA adoption but came to me from Triad Rescue in North Carolina. In October 2012 I drove to Greensboro to where she was being well-fostered and picked her up. She hopped out of the car in Williamsburg and took to her new home like she had been here her whole life.
She then picked out a SEVA companion, Avery, and the two of them shared a joyous decade together, playing, wrestling, romping, and getting into mischief. She was the calmest, sweetest girl who loved not just me and her “brother,” but her pals, canine and human, especially those who gave treats and belly scratches. She cared for my parents in their decline.
She lived fifteen years, all but two with me, and despite declining health had a happy last day. For the rest of my life I will see her everywhere in my house, curled up like a croissant on the bed or quietly begging at the treat cupboard, I will never forget my darling girl.
Eva Looney
We said a hard goodbye to our sweet Eva today.
We adopted her in July of 2018 as a Turkey dog named “Aida” and she quickly stole our hearts. She loved all people and other animals and fully enjoyed her twice daily walks in our neighborhood. She lovingly became known as the dog “mayor” of our street and visited many families along her route, treating them to her signature happy dog roll and nose nudges for pets.
Eva was an emotional and physical comfort to our family through the losses of beloved family members and the stress of the pandemic. We enjoyed every moment of her six years with us.
Thank you SEVA GRREAT for the wonderful work you do. Eva will be in our hearts forever.
Coco Anderson
Halley Dictor
On Labor Day our girl Halley was diagnosed with lymphoma and crossed the Rainbow Bridge. It was a complete surprise, since she hadn’t been ill.
Halley was a Turkey dog, picked up on the street, and spent about a year in a Turkish animal shelter before arriving in the States and becoming “Americanized” by her VA Beach foster family. Since we have no early history on Halley our best guess is that she was about 4 – 5 years old at that time. She had elbow dysplasia in her right foreleg, causing her to walk with a limp. We didn’t care about the infirmity, and she became part of our family Mother’s Day 2018. She immediately took control of the house, especially the kitchen.
Halley was a therapy dog for 5 years and loved her work. She regularly visited a county jail/juvenile detention center, assisted living facilities, and elementary/middle schools. She broke her damaged elbow 3 years ago which resulted in the leg being amputated. It never slowed her down. She continued her neighborhood walks, therapy dog visits, and traveling with us. She made friends everywhere she went – everyone knew the little tripod Golden Retriever.
The house is empty now. There’s no one to eat the last bites off our plates, tell us when it’s time for a walk, or decrumb the floor. At just 50 lb. she was the smallest Goldie we’ve ever seen, but she occupied so much space in our home and hearts. We had 6 1/2 wonderful years together, and there was never a day that she didn’t do something to make us laugh. We’ll always love and miss her.
Maize Sumner
She is an angel now who died peacefully at home surrendering to Mast Cell Tumor in the final stage. I only fostered her for a few months, but she blended right in with my others accepting her special spot to eat and loving to be on the couch near me. Her walks were slow but her tail wagged as she explored every pine cone and blade of grass possible. She loved going with everyone to a daily play session at a friend’s home lying on the patio and enjoying the sun on her face and the wind tickling her fur.
Surgery was done to remove a mass on her neck; the pathology report was devastating giving her time line as less than four months. I went to battle getting food for cancer patients and mushrooms supplements in addition to her Benadryl. Maybe that bought her a few weeks, but suddenly she was leaving food in the bowl, then rejecting snacks, then vomiting, then refusing any and all food for four days in spite of anti nausea medication.
Our time was short together but her sweet nature and adoring eyes touched me deeply. The stars will shine brighter tonight because Maize has joined them.
Rudi Reichart
Rudi was a former Turkey dog that we adopted in April 2019. He chose us; an honor we have been so proud to tell anyone that asked. Rudi was always around us. He acclimated quickly to our household. He was best friends with his nephews Finn, Gus and Odin. He never met a person or animal that he didn’t like. Rudi was a gentle soul; he never showed any aggression, he never counter surfed, or jumped on anyone. He wasn’t a chewer, but he loved getting new stuffed toys that were his “babies”. While we worked at home during the pandemic, he was always in one office area or the other, making sure that all was OK with mom or dad.
He went on many OBX beach trips; he loved the ocean, and running in the surf. But he hated the bath and hose at home. He loved walks in the neighborhood, and when we relocated to the Harrisonburg area earlier this year, his favorite walks were on the golf course where we live. Rudi had health issues; three years ago, it was a scare with his pancreas and liver. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and kidney disease. We worked with our wonderful vets to get him the medication and shots he needed.
In the last few weeks, his health began to deteriorate to the point where he could only do short walks and he lost his appetite. When we took him to the vet for a check on his condition, the vet discovered a large mass in his abdomen. We knew it was time to say goodbye to our sweet prince. We stayed with him to the end. We will miss this sweet boy for all times, and we can’t thank SEVA enough for the opportunity to have loved him and spoiled him, even if it was for a shorter time than we had hoped. We love you Rooster. You will always be with us in our hearts. Please watch over us til we meet you again.
Thor Edwards
Our hearts broke the afternoon of June 23, 2024, when we took him to the ER vet. He had not been himself the previous 2 weeks. He was originally named Dasher but we named him Thor – he was our God with long blond hair! He loved to dash out the door and run down the street as we held on for dear life. He loved running and smelling everything in the neighborhood. But those two last weeks he would only walk! We attributed to the stifling heat!
But that Sunday morning he looked terribly weak and we took him to the ER vet. Then, the word I dreaded came to us: hemangiosarcoma, a large mass on his spleen which ruptured…He had hours!!!
He loved to sit on the deck with me when I did my morning reading, He loved to run with my husband and my sons. He loved car rides and visiting his grandma. And he loved his cousins – Bella, Goldie, Houdini, and Luna….
Dash free Thor, smell it all until we see you again!
With much love, your family!
Skyler/Bubba Meyer
So it is so heartbreaking to announce another loss in our family, our beautiful dog Skyler, whom we called Bubba. He was truly one-of-a-kind. A 110 pound golden retriever with a huge head and paws and a heart of a teddy bear.
He passed away very suddenly on June 3rd, 2024 and we’re still in shock and so sad. He was fine and happy and then this weekend took a turn for the worse and we didn’t know what was wrong. Took him to the emergency vet and were told he had a tumor on his spleen. Which they believe ruptured which is what caused his rapid decline. We didn’t even know he had cancer. They said sometimes it can grow very quickly. They could have done surgery to remove the tumor, but if it had spread they would put him down right then. If he survived the surgery he would need chemo, which might only prolong his life maybe 6 months. And he would never have the quality of life that he had. We knew we couldn’t put him through that, and that we had to let him go peacefully.
Bubba was a wonderful part of our family. If you’ve ever come over our house you know the happy greeting he gave you. He loved going for rides and walks. Meeting new people. He went to the beach and camping. Came with us on trips to Pennsylvania to see family. He loved to dress up in his bow tie and volunteer with SEVA GRREAT. He and Rylee are in this year’s calendar in August for the rescue. He was even chosen one Christmas to be a dog actor and walk across the stage during a performance of the Nutcracker ballet in Norfolk. He dressed up as a lion to greet trick or treaters on Halloween. He was a great big brother to Rylee who adored him. But his favorite things to do were eat popcorn, play fetch in the backyard and swim in his pool.
We are devastated by his sudden loss. Thank you, Bubba, for the nine wonderful years we had with you. You’ll always be with us in our hearts.
Bruno Jens
My best friend arrived from Turkey with no history and a passport that read Comet, a name given to him when he was rescued from the unknown. His foster family renamed him Bruno and I didn’t have the heart to change his name again so “Bruno” stuck like the good Velcro dog he was.
Bruno loved everyone he met. Most of the canines in my new neighborhood were little bullies, however, so Bruno didn’t have a lot of pals to play with for the first couple of years. We were best friends and loyal companions for each other. Eventually, a few new dogs moved in and what a thrill it was to see my 72 lb. boy gently touch noses with a 4 lb. puppy.
During our 5 ½ years together we never spent a night apart. I couldn’t bear to think of Bruno in a boarding cage while I was somewhere else having fun. Our only overnight trips were to the Outer Banks where he enjoyed the salt air, ocean breeze and walks on the beach as much as I did. Eventually, arthritis took over his hips so all of our walks got shorter and beach house rentals had to have an elevator. He never complained. Last fall he started limping on his front leg but both his York vet and a specialist could not find the cause. Medications hopefully helped with the discomfort and he never turned down a good massage at the end of the day. He even still enjoyed chasing a tennis ball; just how he managed that I’ll never understand.
It’s so hard for us humans to know when it’s enough, when it’s time to say goodbye. I attended a seminar in February devoted to that topic which was immensely helpful even though I didn’t think I’d have to rely just yet on what I’d learned or use any of the resources. It’s difficult to watch anyone go downhill, and the last thing I wanted was for Bruno to suffer. His last few hours I believe were joyful. It was a beautiful day so we spent the time in the yard, romping and lying in soft, spring grass. He ate all the treats he wanted, big and small. Neighbors and family stopped by to enjoy his company one more time. Not only did he look happy and enjoy all the attention, I couldn’t have asked for a kinder, gentler send-off for the sweetest dog anyone could ask for. I miss him so!
Beau Murray
He was “Sunny” when he moved in (2014) but became “Beau” for obvious reasons. He was my husband’s retirement pal, and as I’ve said so many times, the wife he should have had: adored him, never argued, always obeyed (well, mostly). And thrilled to share whatever we were eating. He had 14 1/2 wonderful years. He monitored the two streets he could see from our yard and wanted EVERYONE to stop and pet him. The day after he died, neighbors brought flowers and stopped to cry and hug. Many said, “He was the neighborhood dog.” We’ve had 3 goldens; Beau was extraordinary.
Jax Hill
We were blessed to adopt Jax in July of 2016 and grateful for the years we had with him before having to saying goodbye this spring. He was the bestest boy. We sometimes called Jax our 110% golden retriever. His size, his heart, his enthusiasm, his love of people, his fur- take any golden retriever trait and multiply it by 110% and that was Jax. He made friends everywhere he went. We can’t thank SEVA GRREAT enough for our time with him. We were so lucky to have him in our familyWe were blessed to adopt Jax in July of 2016 and grateful for the years we had with him before having to saying goodbye this spring. He was the bestest boy.

Coco Miller
Coco crossed the rainbow bridge on 1/1/2024 due to cancer.
Coco wasn’t with us long but we loved every moment shared with her. She loved the snow and the beach, car rides and walks, but what she loved the most was food. When laying down comfortably, you would think she wasnt, but she loved to lay in crazy positions. She couldn’t wait to be let out everyday as she would go chase rabbits. When she slept she would talk in her sleep and have some wild dreams. We would make up stories that she was chasing the rabbits in her dreams.
She had some rough teeth from living on the streets in Turkey but that did not stop her from enjoying food. She would sit out on the porch with us and watch the storms come in or just watch the birds fly by. She loved to be outside. She loved her tummy rubbed and treats.
We are going to miss her greatly.
Marigold Lucado
She loved people more than anything and that includes food or treats and if she had to pick between a person she loved or something yummy to eat she’d pick the person every time. She was my velcro dog, she followed me everywhere, she could be in a deep sleep in one of the rooms that I walked out of and I had to pay attention because when I would turn to go back where I was she’d was right THERE, took a couple of tumbles learning that valuable lesson but we got it down.
There’s so much I wish I could say about her but then this tribute would take up tons of space but I will say she was my clown, she could make the silliest faces that made me laugh every day, she also would do her little dance with a cute growl letting me know she needed a potty break. She never learned to go to the back door to let her out, the dance and growl was her way of communicating about that. Even though I didn’t have her for a long time the immense Joy she brought to my every day life equaled years of love. She had her health issues from day one but we tackled them as they came along and she’d get better.
Unfortunately she had chronic kidney disease and eventually the treatments and medicines stopped working and that’s when I knew I needed to say goodbye to this amazing soul, with dignity and compassion, giving her the greatest gift of love any person can give to someone who means the world to them.
In closing, Marigold was one of the best dogs ever born, she was sunshine, kindness, sweetness, silliness and love, all wrapped up in one body. I will miss her forever, I am so grateful that she came into my life, I think I formally adopted her around my birthday, BEST gift I could ever have received. Maddie and I will see you again some day sweet angel.
Bear Thomas
Through the years with us, he made friends in all the neighborhoods he walked, and inspired even non- dog owners to keep dog treats for him whenever he stopped by to visit. He made friends with both young and older people, and helped teach some little ones not to be afraid of dogs. He found love late in life in a May/December romance with a pretty brunette named Anna, who watched out her window waiting for him every day. He was always a friend and mentor to his foster siblings showing them companionship, leadership and loyalty.
He was our special boy, and we will miss him dearly. R.I.P., sweet Bear.
Gracie Welch
She was a wonderful foster mom to 35+ fosters over the years and a big sister to our rescue pup, Tucker.
I’ve never been so bonded with a pet before and I am forever changed by her passing and, on the bright side, so grateful that SEVAGRREAT allowed us to love her through the years.
Moose Young
We were blessed to have Moose in our lives for over 2 years. He was a senior dog but had the energy and goofiness of a puppy. He made us laugh everyday and brought us us so much joy. He loved having his picture taken and was always smiling! It was heartbreaking to say goodbye, but after having a debilitating stroke, we didn’t want him to suffer. He will miss playing with his friend and fellow SEVA golden Lucy, but he has joined his “sister” Stella who preceded him over the rainbow bridge. You were the love of our lives sweet Moose and we hope to see you again one day!
Friday Morris
When you think of the days of the week, I believe it is fair to say that Everybody Loves Friday. 14 years ago, we named a fluffy marshmallow puppy “Friday”. Since then, we have had the pleasure of experiencing Friday every day of the week. Everyone who met her would comment on how she was so beautiful. When Friday would look at you with those dark brown “baby seal” eyes, you could feel her unconditional love. But it was her inner beauty that truly made Friday so special. She was a blend of everything good and sweet. Friday loved all people and dogs. We could take her anywhere and put her in any situation and not have to worry about how she might react. Friday loved attention and affection, but she did not demand it. Friday had a calming effect with her easy-going temperament. She was a real blood pressure lowering specialist. Hers was a life well lived and loved every day. A happy girl with no interest in dominance, competition, or jealousy. She loved playing with others, swimming, and laying in her sandbox. But her most favorite thing of all was just being with us. She had so much love to share. Friday lived her life with a song in her heart. She enjoyed singing by putting her head back and barking to the music. And she had the best happy dance! She loved it when we sat by the firepit; sometimes she would sing with me while I played the guitar.
There are a lot of words that could be used to describe Friday; yet there are not enough words to portray just how special Friday was. The last 14 years with her have been amazing. It’s been above and beyond all expectations. The memories will live on with us…Friday will live on with us…Forever and Always…. EVERYBODY LOVES FRIDAY…
Toby Rowe
Toby came to live with us 8 years ago when we lost our last SEVA golden to cancer. We have always had two goldens, so he was welcomed to our family by Cooper. They loved each other and we loved him! He was a silly boy and loved to dig and hang out in the flowers and would greet everyone with a pillow or toy in his mouth.
We would take daily walks which he adored even though he had a huge fenced yard to run around with Cooper. He survived cancer surgery in his mouth and was missing some gum and teeth, but still a happy fellow following the surgery. Last year his rear legs became weaker and we knew it would continue to worsen. We finally made the heartbreaking decision to let him go and meet his brother, Cooper at Rainbow Bridge (We lost Cooper just 3 months ago to cancer). Toby smiled and kissed us as the vet carried him inside where we laid with him and said Goodbye. Our home and hearts have a terrible void. We Love you Toby.
Trey Trahan
He arrived on August 18,2022 as a FTA. As soon as we opened the door we were ready to sign the adoption papers. Dad changed his name to Trey, our third SEVA GRREAT golden. Trey was a beautiful English Cream who we described as our Gentle Giant. Trey quickly learned to love his backyard, his walks, his fleece Hugglehounds which quickly became his favorite toys and laying next to dad being serenaded while watching tv. You arrived as a 6 year old, but could show energy, curiosity and that tilt in your eyes reminiscent of a much younger pup. Enjoying perfect health and increased mobility this all ended way too soon when you succumbed to cancer on July 28, 2023. Our deepest gratitude to Jane, Shannon, Barbara and all SEVA GRREAT volunteers for placing Trey with us and to Dr. Leigh Hofmeister, Coastal Vet, for your compassionate and consummate care. Trey, we loved you so and we’re not the same without you.
Molly Knight
Molly joined us in September 2009 at about 6 months of age. She had been found running loose. She did not know that she won the adoption lottery with two old retired folks who like to travel. Shortly after she joined us she experienced her first RV trip where she got to swim in the James River. That was the first of many trips, where she went swimming in more than 27 states. She made friends at several RV rallies and dipped her paws in the water at Acadia National Park, Lake Michigan, the Colorado River, Oklahoma City, and her favorite – Brohard Paw Park on the Gulf of Mexico in Venice, Florida. She was still quite a puppy in Bozeman, Montana when she retrieved a dead fish instead of the retriever training dummy. She also tried to follow a duck down Spearfish Creek, but we managed to catch her. Although she had a terrible fear of a flyswatter, she never met a person that she did not like and made many friends with her daily walk through the neighborhood. She never complained and was typically happy. She took us through some rough times as she blew out her knee, and had other surgeries. Finally, it was (of course) cancer that took her from us at age 14. We just hope that as she crosses the Rainbow Bridge she finds a great place to swim. We miss her terribly.
Lacey Krom
I know that “the worst day of my life” is an overused expression, but today is one of those days. Please send prayers and positive vibes as we send Lacey over the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. The kidney disease and arthritis have taken too much of a toll, so it’s time. Lacey’s having a good day today, which gives me comfort as she deserves a great last day. I’m sure I’ll have much more to say in the coming days about this special girl, and I am trying to stay positive. So I’ll start with pretty much a classic picture of the girls – looking AWAY from the camera. Boy, could she be stubborn about having her picture taken. Soon she’ll be running free, no longer needing the harness lift, and chasing all the tennis balls she wants. We will miss her so much.
