This week one of our favorite friends passed away. Greta was our neighbor in STL. She lived with Nona and Popo and always came to the fence to greet us. If we came to the door she was patient, but made certain we used a hand to pet her. When we added our own furry canine family member (Jakey) she became his Big Sister and tolerated his morning visits. Jake figured out how to nose through the loose picket in the fence. Greta has a giant doggie door and she always found patience with Jake as he learned that he could easily crash Greta's breakfast time. They would run together in the back yard and play - Greta probably more out of tolerance of Jake. It wasn't rare though to see them sitting near one another - so it was obvious that Greta and Jake had a close friendship. When we moved Jake missed her. There were no dogs nearby to hang with and when he met a dog while walking they never appreciated his over active friendliness the way Greta did. Jake will miss Greta. We will miss Greta too - and our heart goes out to her family - because at this time I am sure they miss her most of all.
We Love You Greta
