Hi, everybody. I might as well tell you now that Lassie has passed over.  I have never known a sweeter, more caring dog.  She truly reached out to people in times of need and wagged her butt and delighted people in everyday times.  She was actually a "chick magnet" for a roommate because she was so cute.  She was my favorite dog of all time and I thought my life was over when she went blind.  I was wrong.

 

Lassie had about two weeks of depression after she finally went blind from PRA, but as soon as she realized that she could still chase lizards, she never missed a beat after that. She is the one who cured me and healed me in so many ways that can never be enumerated.  And she brought me to all of you, who have enriched my life so much over the years.

 

Lassie never needed dog school because she was perfect in every way.  She is the only stray dog I've ever had who went to dog school because she deserved to go out and not because she needed it.

 

Anyway, she's been gone for several months now and I was just not ready to talk about it, but now is the time. She will be missed.  She was definitely the cutest dog on the planet.  And if all dogs were like her, we would never have had a single dog bite in human history.  But we'd have a lot more love.

 

Thanks for listening, supporting me when Lassie went blind, posting her pictures, and supporting me now that she has made her transition.
