In loving memory...
Lady was a show dog before we got her. It was a very interesting
transition, she was "too" disciplined, and wasn't too familiar with
"being a pet".
In the end,
Dad used to joke that she was either deaf or didn't listen anymore (we
all knew she could hear, for she would respond enthusiastically to
"ride" "cookie" "bed time")

She was an
absolutely wonderful pet, and enjoyed people, life, and cats. She loved
going to the park, Dad would take her when the down syndrome kids were
there on a field trip and she would just let them pet her.
