My heart breaks for my dear friend Diane Miller who lost her amazing dog Sadie. Back in the day, Mojo and I had enjoyed racking up Dockdogs credits at local events… and then we met Diane and Sadie. Sadie loved to compete, loved the water and LOVED speed retrieve! We did not pass the torch. Sadie claimed it as hers and refused to give it back! She earned every bit of the title “Fur Rocket”! She was quite particular in that she had to have everything done in just her way. Diane eventually learned to do the silliest wind up and throw for their Big Air jumps to get the maximum distance out of her(imagine a women’s softball pitchers wind up and throw). Sadie was also a major troublemaker, but that is who she was, so her shenanigans were usually quite humorous. I always admired the bond they shared and Diane’s commitment to working with Sadie to try to unlock her unique intricacies. She was also quite the ham up on the dock.
I bet you are creating quite the wake zooming through the pool up there as I write this. You are gone much too soon and will be sorely missed. Thank you for all of the oohs and ahhs and of course, the laughs. Swim free Fur Rocket!
