I'm so glad I found it again!

I have had four dogs in my life and she was by far the smartest. Very easily teachable, very friendly, very social and, as you can see, quite patient.

I have overcome my grief, so no apologies for my loss are necessary. Of course I miss her, but seeing this photo made me so happy. It's like getting one more moment with her all these years.

She looks pretty chill in this photo! She was lucky to have you as her owner.

I hope so. I definitely made mistakes, but it was love at first sight when I went to the shelter to get a dog. I made myself look at every other dog in the shelter and went back to her again and we were inseparable after that. But if she lived to that old age, I think I did something right.
