Olivia started hiking with me in November 2007, when she was five months old. She was a BC that got along with all my other dogs, and loved to play. The water called to her, and she loved to swim and fetch balls or sticks endlessly! Occasionally she loved to roll in a doggy fragrance, and return to share it with me. I remember bringing her home once to throw her in the tub and bath her. A swim in the lake wouldn't get her clean enough! After a heroic battle with cancer, she went out playing to the end. Olivia, we will miss your playful spirit. Say "Hi" to Komet and Kayle, they've saved the other end of the tug toy for you!
