I will remember this…

No dog I’ve ever known deserved liberation more… She never learned to play w/ a toy..: she had lived at the feet of her previous human all her life… It was months after we brought her home before she could go out into the back yard alone…

She had only just recently discovered she could take her treat stuffed “bone” by herself into her crate + enjoy it in her own sweet time all by herself.

The first day I saw her wag her tail, I almost passed out for joy… we really tried to help her have a good dog’s life to the end. She was goofy but so very sweet…

Liberated… I hope so… can I stop crying now???
