Just think how different my image would have been if I looked down and saw Lolli at my feet while registering. :)
Seriously, I'll never forget her. She was the only perfectly behaved dog I've ever had. Most likely because I took her in when she was older and already trained. :) I am not much of an authority figure. She was afraid of most everything, but so eager to do what was right. And nothing like burying your face in a full shepherd dog's coat when you feel like crying. There's a comfort there I recall from my childhood collie.
My husband and I were struck with how much her death mirrored her life. She didn't make a bit of fuss, and died at my feet.
I think she's got a special place in doggy heaven for the truly *good*.
