To my best four legged friend Skadi

14 years ago you fulfilled my “every since I was a little girl” wish to have a dog. You showed us as first-time dog owners the unconditional love, loyalty, complete trust that only a dog can bring. You were my running companion for so many miles, on so many trails through all kinds of weather. Your goofy antics, your happy grin, your love for the outdoors made us laugh, brought us joy and made our family complete. You lived up to your name: goddess of hunting, winter and skiing.

I will never forget you Skadi, Skadoosh, Puppy, Skads. I hope wherever you are now, you’ll finally catch up to that deer.

Thank you.
