Dakota

A Tribute

Dakota

2005-2016

We said our goodbyes to Dakota on September 6, as a fast-moving and inoperable tumor had invaded her vena cava vein and started blocking the return of blood to her heart. We were fortunate to have some warning and enjoyed several days together living and loving.

This is a tribute to her life and the many people she touched. Somewhere there is a wedding album with her picture with the bridal party in Carmel, and she’s a star online in an asian tourist’s video at Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park. She was a “calendar girl” for an animal rescue in Pleasanton, and was seen in pictures with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

Thank you for bringing us your unconditional love.

We will forever have Dakota in our hearts. George will never forget when she would go through his legs. I will always remember that cute look begging for cookies after our morning runs. Dakota taught her little sister Bella everything she knows. Even when we go for runs now at the park Bella continues to look for her very best friend. The girls had such fun wrestling, sharing the water bucket, and running with such energy and speed that we often felt they would knock us down. Remember Dakota finding all the good morsels at the park after a weekend. Love you Dakota. You are truly missed.
