Bonnie was the Canine Companion of Kurt & Joan for 16 years. She was a great fishingdog, accompanying Kurt on his many boat trips. My favorite story is about the time the two of them were floating through a bed of algae; Bonnie mistook the algae for grass, thought they had landed, and jumped out of the boat! Dog, was she surprised!
Here she is, after a fishing trip - sleeping the sleep of the innocent, dreaming of swimming, maybe catching some fish, and just keeping her best buddy Kurt company.
When she wasn't fishing or sleeping, Bonnie's favorite pastime was chewing - rawhide chews, pigs' ears, whatever. Yum.
Bonnie crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on 9 May 1997.

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.
