“I am so glad I was able to send this to you. Raven is so beautiful and just magnificent; she is full of energy so agility is a great sport for her.She has so much fun and is constantly laughing while she is moving at warped speed. Our vet is going to put some of that video on their website. I have already planned to send that regal picture to you; each time I look at it, I am in awe of her beauty and Majesty. She is the best I friend ever in my life, and we are attached at the hip. We hug and snuggle all the time. An interesting experience we recently had when our kitty, Cloe, died last week. All the pets knew she was sick, however, Raven was always trying to lick away the cancer from the side of Cloe’s cheek. When I brought Cloe home after her euthanasia at the vet, I placed her carrier in the garage and around 2 AM, I went into the garage to clean and brush Cloe and placed her in a pretty box and put a red bow on her to be taken to the pet cemetery in the morning. Raven stayed laying at the doorway into the garage almost all the time,. When I allowed her into the garage, she immediately went on the hunt for Cloe, when she couldn’t find her, she took my shirt that was in the carrier that I placed there to give Cloe comfort during her last trip. Raven went onto her bed, tucked the shirt under her neck and chin and lay there for 3-4 hours. The next two days, she did the same with the towel and then the pad in the carrier. These articles are still in her bed where she snuggles with them. No one will ever convince me that dogs don’t know, understand, and have dignity to comprehend loss and relationships far better than humans. I love her so very much; she is my best friend .She completes my happiness and makes me a better person. I want to find a way to do another DVD and include that picture of her sitting in front of that bird cage. I will speak to the photographer and see how we can get it off the Internet from your website; is that ok? He is including the puppy pictures you sent to me. Will keep you posted. I hope we make you smile….A Lot! .”
