In memoriam for Kayle

On May 18th, 2014, my first hiking client, Kayle, crossed over the rainbow bridge.  Kayle taught me so many things, that I now use to teach new dogs that I hike.  She was a gentle soul and loved a good romp in the woods.  She never started any disputes, and would rather walk away from a disagreement.  Her owner, Crystal, was the person that gave me the idea to start a dog hiking business, back in Oct, 2001. Kayle was 4.5months old.  She and I have spent many days, miles and life experiences together.  I will miss her.  Keep my girls company, until I can see you all again.
