A good dog never dies
she always stays
she walks beside you
on crisp autumn days
when frost is on the fields
and winter's drawing near
her head is within our hand
in her old way.

. . . MILA, August 4, 1997-July 25, 2008

In memory of Dorothy Miner's Airedale, Mila, a truly free spirit and once-in-a-lifetime dog.

. . . CAMERON, who crossed The Rainbow Bridge on August 1, 2008. Lesley Mattuchio writes:

Today was an end of an era in our home with the last member of the Divine Dales joining her sister Bonnie and brother Karl . . . Divine Dales and Ravishing Rott . . . at the Rainbow Bridge.

With great sadness I helped my "Beanie" girl, my heart dog, cross that Bridge and set her free from pain. As most of you know, Cameron turned 14 years old on July 22 and although I knew I may not see her 15th birthday, I did not expect it to be this quick that I had to say goodbye to 14 years of companionship, fun, and love. She took a turn for the worse yesterday afternoon and could no longer get outdoors without being carried down the stairs, and as much as she adored her meals, she could not muster the strength to get up and eat, so I had to take her bowl to where she was lying and she would eat it there.

I knew it was time to say good-bye and ease her suffering, but I will always remember our hikes in the woods with our Airedale friends who have already gone to The Bridge, her endless patience with each new puppy I brought into the house, and her undying love for her home and her family.
