Our hearts are sad tonight. Neela left us peacefully and quietly today at the old age of 12.5 years. She was full of sass and s***k, but so loving and cuddly. She gave the best smiles. I swear she was part cat with 9 lives, losing an eye and a tooth, having surgery to remove a stick, etc. She even jumped up on the windowsill in the bedroom. She loved to cuddle, especially with Zanakin the cat or my dad. She acted like we couldn't see her hiding behind a tree eating cat turds out on walks, and then pretended to not hear us when we would yell at her for it. She was the fat little snausage (spelled correctly) that graced our home and lives for the last 12 years. One of the original 4 who helped us start on our journey of raising great family dogs. She was the last living house pet who would even remember being together with Miyah, Kuma, and Johan. Now, I can see her greeting them with her smiles and her tail wagging so hard that she folds in half. I'm sure they are so happy to see her. Until we meet at the rainbow bridge, Neela. You will be sorely missed.
