She was a wonderful dog. More important to us than we realized until we lost her so suddenly. But she was not perfect. She could not resist chasing something noisy and moving, so she could not be walked in view of a street as she would be bolting to the end of her leash every time a vehicle went by. Deep in the woods, off leash, she would also sometimes dash off in pursuit of something, more often nothing, and take her own time returning regardless of our calls. Dahlia is a wonderful loving dog, but it will take years before she is as dear to us as Tralee. Because of the times of our life that we had Tralee, no dog may be again so much a part of us.
