There is a hole in our souls today as we mourn the loss of our beloved pup Riesling. We always said that she lived up to her name, as she was often sweet (champion snuggle-monster) and sometimes spicy (very mischievous). She was such a fighter over the years, having survived an attack at the dog park, a mast cell tumor, and her three nights lost escapade last September (at 16 years old!) but time had finally caught up with her and we knew it was time to say goodbye. Thankfully we had a full day to spoil her with beef stew at each meal, her last taste of mama’s latte foam (morning tradition) and hours of snuggling. Ries, you will be so, so missed.
