Skya was our foundation bitch. She was a grand sweepstakes winner, was pointed from the puppy classes and a breed winner which in itself is quite an accomplishment for a red bitch. She also has her backpacking title, weight pull title and legs towards her team dog title. Unfortunately she was bitten by a rattlesnake in 2001 and we almost lost her but her strength and courage got her through. In 2002 she was bitten again and as a result of the damage done by the venom, she had to have both ACL's repaired. Still she pushed on . Unfortunately in May her body let her down for the last time as her spleen ruptured. She was my canine soulmate and my constant companion.She went to work with me almost every day at the Doctors office where I work and was known as our 4 legged assistant. Our patients loved her and she could often be found hanging out in the exams rooms with them while they are waited for the Dr. She will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts. |
