Lakris, one of my best friends, recently passed away. I got a call from my sister when I was on a road trip last week that she suddenly started feeling really bad and became unresponsive. I did not get to say goodbye and she was really one of the greatest dogs I have ever met. She always gave me the loveliest greetings when I came to visit, and she truly enjoyed her dog life to the fullest. This is one of the last photos I took of her, despite getting older she was always up for adventure. Here she is relaxing on tha patio after a hike we did together. I will always remember her fondly. The sound of her eager paws tappng across the floor when she suspected a food oppourtunity, the way she would ride next to me in the car, enjoying the endless stream of smells cascading down through the window. Her love for snuggles and endless belly rubs. It was not a single bad bone in her, she was a great dog. I miss you Lakris!
