It's funny how some things work out. After posting the pic of a friends dobie, I'm tidying up my office room and I find a print of my now long gone dobie herself! This is Porsha. My first dog after moving out on my own. Most amazing dog ever. Smart as a whip. Always a puppy. Protective without being aggressive. Loyal like you wouldn't believe. She could read my body language and just know exactly what I wanted her to do without me saying a word. The perfect dobe.
Unfortunately dobie's sometimes have a heart condition called
cardiomyopathy and it can either be sudden or degenerative. In Porsha's case it was sudden, she just up and died at 7 1/2 years old. I still have her ashes in a box that I was planning on spreading into the wind at our favourite park but I just can't bring myself to it, and I don't know if I ever will.
