It was just a week ago, on May 24th, that I had to let my beautiful Cady go. She was 14 1/2 years old, and had lived, I think, a wonderful life by anyone's standards. She was much, much more to me than my (intended) foundation bitch. Bringing her home that day as a 12 week old was the beginning of so many firsts for us ... my first real show dog, my first litter, my first really fun dog, just so full of herself, she was hard to take seriously.
I can't begin to relate all of the wonderful stories or to share the innumerable memories of my sweet girl, but they fill my heart, and have been great comfort to draw upon this last week and for many weeks, months, years to come. I am eternally grateful for the precious time we had together, and know that one day we'll meet again. Till then, I love you more you'll ever know, my Cady ...
