Friday's Foto Finish Fiesta

This is Kota.

Kota was a sweet girl who we adopted from a rescue. She had the softest fur and a shy disposition. She was slow to trust people, so when we finally won her trust, it the best gift ever. She was protective of our family and very gentle with the kids. She was strong despite physical limitations. She was a true best friend that gave us unconditional love. We miss her terribly.

We've been talking lately about adding a new German Shepherd dog to our family. It's something that we're hoping to accomplish this summer. I only hope that we find a creature as special as our Kota. Those are big shoes to fill.

Oh I love dogs - what a great tribute. They became such huge parts of our families, don't they?

Girl I know you miss her. I'm glad you'll be adding on. D is in the process of looking at coonhounds(??) so as he's traveling the web I'll tell him to keep a watch out. Are you wanting puppy?

Susie said...

What a great pet you had! I hope that you are healing from your loss and that your search for another relationship is fruitful:-)
