Princess

We had to put my dog, Princess, to sleep today. We were with her for the whole thing and it was peaceful.  When we first got her at the rescue she had many issues, but quickly overcame them and really lived up to her name. She liked to cross her paws when she sat by the kitchen watching us (especially my mom) cook. She was also a great Early Warning System and would let us know whenever someone was coming up our mountain. She liked to take things too. I know that somewhere in the house is her hiding spot with 4 remote controls and whatever else she decided she wanted over the years. One of the best memories is that every time I would go out the door (to do errands, to mow or to shovel) she would run up the stairs and look out the window on the landing. I would turn around and wave and she would bark. When she could no longer go up the stairs she would look out the window of the front door and bark when I waved. She loved her treats too and you couldn’t help but keep giving them to her. This is the first time I do not have a dog living with me, but am glad to have had her for so many years.
