This picture is of Pokey under her favorite tree. It was highly important to her that she have a couple of locations where she could provide constant vigilance to her "people." She was our beautiful shadow and the smallest act without her presence is painful to contemplate. Everyday, of her nearly ten years, I told Pokey that she was the most wonderful dog in the world. I said it lightly, but I meant it wholeheartedly. I know there are many others who feel the same and are grieving also. My heart goes out to them, as I know theirs does to us.
