Hey, thanks everyone for all the kind words, much appreciated.

This was Cloudy last November, along with my granddaughter.....

Cloudy "sit.... stay"ing just as hard as she could, she weren't one to do things half way. I'd bring a leash where I had to, but they were just for show.

I took her travel crate out of the pickup today, she quickly learned to wait by the tailgate because she liked the attention when I picked her up to put her in it. She ain't gonna waking up the neighbors any more by barking from it all the way down the street either.

I emptied out her kiddie wading pool on the back porch, that dog was a fanatic about water, loved to splash and lie in it.

I'm gonna be finding blue raquetballs around the house and yard for months, years maybe. She taught herself to retrieve early on, got to be an expert at reading the bounce of a raquetball and catching them in the air, I always kept a supply on hand and she would leave them all over the place.

She'll be missed.
