He fit there nicely, and she would always breathe a deep sigh as he nestled next to her, as all mothers do. She enjoyed nature with her family, preferring to be called camp dog over anything else. She liked naps on the couch, big sticks, all the foods, and celebrating birthdays and Christmas. She was ours for 11 wonderful years and she has now journeyed over the rainbow bridge.
