Goodbye, Big Dawg

We received the sad news today that my parents had to put our Big Dawg to sleep. The vet was pretty sure she had a brain tumor based on her issues. She was almost 15 years old, which is pretty ancient for a Husky.

My favorite memories:
... when we brought her home as a pup, she was only 5 pounds, all ears and big, beautiful blue eyes

... her standing on top of snowbanks in upstate New York, surveying her "domain" like she was Queen of the North

... teaching her to lick my nose when I said "besame" (Spanish for "kiss me")

... her and my cat conspiring to steal my plate full of mac & cheese

... her and my cat working together to kill cockroaches in Mississippi

We love you, Big Dawg, and we will miss you! I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of this beautiful girl, but they are all pre-digital.

I really miss her! I didn't really know her that well but she was still part of the family
