Smooch was the smartest dog I’ve ever had and probably the smartest dog I’ve ever known about! She was definitely a one person dog and so if someone was able to gain her trust, it was quite an accomplishment! She got diabetes about five years before she passed away and so I had to give her shots every 12 hours for those last five years and give her the special food. She was definitely worth it all though. Eventually towards the end she lost her eyesight completely. That was a shame because she really enjoyed watching hunting shows on TV and barking at the animals. I miss her a great deal and I’m sure I always will.
