Oh, so sweet…at least you know that Katy had a good, well-loved life, even if was short. That’s more than can be said for some dogs, sadly.

Great story. Can’t wait to see what happens next. This brings back memories of my former co-worker’s first Boykin, Jezebel, who BTW had straight hair. Sadly, Jezebel also got hit by a car. (Did you know the Boykin Spaniel is the the state dog of South Carolina?) She cost around $50 a pound, my colleague joked, and flew into DC on Delta. Anyway, on visits when she was a pup, Jezebel used to poop right next to my desk. Sassy, the second Boykin, did the same thing! They were energetic doggies.
