Kobe, a female Shih-Poo, was our first family dog. She lived with us for over fourteen years from puppyhood to her final day. Kobe was humanely and tearfully euthanized on my birthday. Kobe paved the way for many canine companions to follow.

Life Matters 
What a sweet fur baby. I still remember my first true love, my schnauzer who died when I was 17. He was my baby and my best friend. The loss of our furry friends is always so hard.
