Today I had to let my beautiful sable girl Dawn cross the rainbow bridge. Jul 11 1997 to July 29 2010 She was a Nasdaq daughter that was never really shown much but a housedog and companion. At 10 1/2 years old we trained and in Dec 07 she obtained her RN and in Jan 08 got her TC to complete her CHIC. She was also the dam of multiple CHIC and pointed progeny. Two of her grandkids took their first points last month from the 12 to 18 class. She was #2 ATAA dam and if I had done the paperwork again would have been in the top 10 multiple years. She was all I could ask for: a companion, a Therapy Dog, worked many education events till I retired her at almost 12, a wonderful baby sitter for our grandchildren and every litter raised at our home (even 2 litters of feral kittens). She was always a perfect lady with the rescues to see how they were with other females. Dawn raised not only her own 3 litters but help raise several litters of rescue puppies that needed manners from a confident foster mom.
