Dakota’s Memorial on DOL

Dakota on the neighbor community dock overlooking the Indian River.

Dakota’s photo above was selected to appear in the local Humane Society calendar.

This striking black dane stole my heart!!  Dakota was purchased as a show prospect but never saw the show ring.  She was a wild, unruly puppy that was hard to control.  Testing showed she had a thyroid problem which is controlled by medication, bilateral entropion which required surgery and ended any hope of a show career.   She was never bred.  When she was spayed, our vet discovered she had 2 cervixes .  She was dearly loved and was our vet’s favorite dane. At 11+ years, Dakota decided it was time to cross over the rainbowbridge and she was laid to rest.  We will miss our sweet princess.

Mommy’s Girl!!

Puppy Love.......

Dakota enjoying our “little piece of heaven”.  All this romping makes a gal thirsty.

Our sweet, matron princess.
