Yesterday we lost our Australian Shepherd, Sheila, and I wanted to share this photo I took of her just a few weeks ago on Christmas day. She blessed our household for nearly 15 years, her unfailing good spirits bringing us much joy (and occasional frustration - she had a penchant for chasing squirrels that far outweighed any amount of concentration she might have had for obedience training, as well as an early love of chewy garden hoses...). She also gave us a beautiful daughter, Pesto, and the two were partners in crime for years until Pesto passed away from cancer in 2007. My parents are now left empty-nested and dog-less for the moment and may remain that way at least for a while - Sheila has left some very big shoes (paws?) to fill.
