When we adopted Libby from Rescue Fairie in Portland, we were looking at a younger dog who could hike with us. However, the dog suggested to us was 'just wonderful, maybe a little older (9ish) and only had one eye and not many teeth after surgery! This did not sound like a good fit! But the people there were so kind, we decided to take a look. And we got a winner!!! The most loving, playful, happy little dog we could have wished for! And, even with her short little legs, she hiked circles around us!!! Libby filled a void in our lives that we didn't even know existed. The sound of her footsteps, her joyous romping and wiggling when we walked in the door, even her loud barking are all cherished memories. Libby, we miss you and always will.
