Shadow, the dog who lived every day like it was a Saturday

This picture was taken on September 12, 2014, the day we realized she had lost her sight.  She continued to enjoy snoozing in the sunshine and eating her doggie dinners which were often enhanced with table scraps. She especially enjoyed washing it all down with our reverse osmosis water and ice cubes.


Kids loved Shadow. Braydon was especially fond of her.  She had such a soft, furry coat to pet, not to mention her pleasant disposition.
She kept careful watch over the farmstead. She faced off in the middle of the night against coyotes, treed squirrels, and tried to convince the cats that she was queen.  
Family photos seemed better when Shadow joined the party.

Shadow came to us in June 2004 when Lori, from Dr. Whitman's office, called to say someone had brought in a stray dog that was too nice and smart to put down.  Lori was right.
