| My grey girl (June 2012) |
In October, 2003, we brought home Yobo, a little gal from Pacific Pug Rescue with a history of abuse. She has been my constant shadow ever since. A good friend jokingly dubbed her 'Iron Pug' due to her amazing will and ability to conquer (up to) twelve mile hikes despite short legs, a flat face and a rotund frame. Last night, at 3 am, we lost our wee girl to health problems that just finally caught up with her. What an amazing, almost nine years of tons of diva personality in a tiny, fifteen-pound frame.
Some of my favorite pictures and adventures with my loyal girl:
