This is the photo I so love of her. I had lost it on my computer, but fortunately, I had previously posted this to my blog, and was able to download it, and recover it for my files. She was such a beautiful dog, and such a great companion for six years.
For Dakota
Into our lives they come
Bounding with joy & love
Their spirits creep into our souls
They are a gift from above
They don’t come
With any guarantees
They do bring un-conditional
Acceptance that’s totally free
Some bring us confidence
And help our self-esteem
Others are sent to teach us
A specific lesson it seems
Their eyes made us feel special
Their wagging tails made us smile
Yes, they brought great joy
If, only for awhile
We risk it all
When we love so deep
But with no risk
No memories to keep.

Dakota is beautiful Kate. I cried when I read this below...

I am so sorry for your loss Kate. He was a lucky dog living up on the mountain with you.
Kate,
So sorry to hear about Dakota. I love what Sandy K. wrote. It is just so true. Right now Buck and Anni are my calmers and I don't know what I would do without them. How are your other dogs doing? And, how are you?
