| Feb. 28, 1996-May 12, 2008 |
| Echo was such a sweet dog, always so happy and full of life. I remember her carrying sticks bigger than herself when she was a puppy; making her presence known in the show ring; her tremendous enthusiasm when we did the herding instinct test; how quickly she picked up everything at obedience class; her tremendous devotion as a mother. Her love and presence enriched my life. She had tremendous determination and drive, a will to live that was incredible. Goodbye, Echo Baby. May you bring joy and happiness in Heaven. Play with as many babies and toddlers as your heart desires. Nothing brought more joy to you than having a toddler pet you and say "dog, dog!" |
