We lost our dog Kelley to cancer this week, she was 14. We adopted her a few years after we got our first dog Jessey. Jess was supposed to be my dog but ended up bonding with my mom. Kelley thankfully really did become my dog :) I remember picking her up from the Toronto airport and even with all she’d been through, we encountered a wiggly happy dog so excited to meet us.

Kelley was the goofy one. She’d bonk her head on things all the time and had such a happy go lucky demeanor about her. She wiggled and wagged with her whole body when we came home from school. She was so not a guard dog, she’d happily greet anyone who came to the house and make them feel welcome. Even non dog people seemed to warm up to her. She was so in tune with your emotions and would come right over and put her head on your lap when you were sad.

We’ll miss you Kelley! You were such a sweetheart :)
