Today is the day I been dreading since last January-My Darling Desiree is no longer here -she has gone to sleep for ever. I can hardly write this as my eyes fill with tears again as I think of her. She fought the liver disease with great courage and in the summer it looked as if she might have beaten it, but she began to get weaker in October and the disease has finally taken my beautiful girl. She was ready to go and escape the discomfort and I take comfort that she is now at peace even though it hurt so much to look into those big brown eyes for the last time.

I am so grateful that she was part of our lives for the last seven years-I remember vividly going to pick her up from Eileen's house and how quickly she became part of our family. I know that dogs always enhance our lives but she brought so much to mine. Desi introduced me to the sport of agility and she was so patient -well most of the time-with me and eventually we began to work as a team and we had such fun! Desiree also introduced me to lots of new friends and I am so grateful to her for enriching my life with such caring,enthusiastic,supportive and positive people.

Every time a plane goes overhead, I will remember Desi. She loved to chase them and one day she might have caught one! She loved to race up the hillsides in Colorado and enjoy the cool mountain air.Our dear friends who spend the summer in Breckenridge were so kind to invite her many times-including this last July and this is another fond memory of her and just how much she enjoyed her life.

When we came home tonight from the vet,another lasting and wonderfulgift from Desi - Guinness- came racing to greet us with the usual wags and kisses. Again thank you, Desi, for being such a good mother to all your special puppies. You brought such joy into our world. We will miss you! May you rest in peace and may your spirit live on with us.

<< I was telling Eileen about Desi's successes and she suggested that I let you know because Desi has a page with her details. We competed in a USDAA competition at Dallas Dog Sports over Memorial Day Weekend. Desi came in first in Starter/novice Standard class with a qualifying round. She was second in the same class on Monday, again with a qualifing round! My first successes! >> Carole Mitchell
