She was an 11 year old German Shepherd, who happened to be a rescue when we adopted her. She loved the water, especially going to the lake! Her favorite thing to do, was fetch tennis balls when her dad would throw them into the water! There are so many memories that we made with her, but one that really stuck to me, was when we brought our daughter home for the first time. Duchess sniffed her a bit, then kind of went about her business. She might’ve not really understood how to interact with our daughter as an infant, but as she grew into a toddler, Duchess was all about her. She protected our daughter like she was her own puppy. Our daughter still asks, “Where’s Dutchie?”. She’ll forever be our big baby.
Rest in Peace Dutchess
