My sweet little girl lost her battle tonight. She's had a rough couple of months. I am not sure what she was battling, but it doesn't matter now. Now she can run pain free and breath easy.

she put up with just about anything |

I hate winter! |
She was my first dog, and of course I got her for all the wrong reasons. We went to the shelter just to "look." I had just been laid off, so obviously it was a perfect time to get a dog. She was all alone in her kennel and she was just so cute that I couldn't resist her. She and her littermates had been dumped at the animal shelter because they had come down with coccidia. Logan taught me about dogs in general and what owning a dalmatian was all about. We started a general pet obedience class together and soon moved on to agility. She was never an agility superstar - she did agility because she enjoyed being with me. Her favorite course was USDAA Jumpers! She could really fly when she wanted to - and even better no weave poles in jumpers! She always did try to entertain the crowd a little though.
She loved to run in the woods, and never met a dog she couldn't play with. She alway knew just what to do if a dog was scared or nervous about meeting other dogs. She especially loved the big dogs! We used to run into a guy walking his great dane - oh it was so entertaining to watch them play! As a TDI test dog she had to be told that she couldn't flirt with the other dogs while doing the test. She was supposed to be a neutral dog!

the original trio |
She loved almost everyone - the couple of times that I remember she didn't like a person, I heeded her wisdom - especially since this usually happened in the woods while I was walking with her, Keegan and Puka alone.

If I stare at this piece of cheese hard enough - someone will give it to me! |
Because of Logan I have friends I never would have met otherwise. I will miss you my sweet little girl.
