gait and fur. When she was in harness she ran wherever we put her, no nonsense, giving her heart to the sport for which she was bred. She was an excellent leader, pairing nicely with her sisters, Buffy or Ruthie.
We moved her to the pen closest to the house because of a respiratory issue, but also more recently because of a tumor on her leg. We had hoped to have a surgery for her this fall, but it was not to be.
Born in June of 2003, Matilda gave her all to life and we tried, in turn to make her life very special. Her sister, Rosie, her next door neighbor will miss her very much. Born of Liller and Skinny, she leaves behind her sisters, Rosie, Buffy, Kiddo, Ruthie and Ruby and her brother, Herman, all of which are mainstays in our kennel teams.
Rest in special peace, dear Matilda.
