Sometimes, a dog comes into your life who leaves an indelible mark on everyone they meet. The kind of dog who shines so bright and gives so much love that people not only remember them, but ask for them to be brought into the office, or outside to say hi, or to be forever immortalized with a sticker.
If you've been lucky enough to love a dog like that then you'll understand why Skittles was so adored. Everyone she met was a friend. Every baby animal she became a surrogate mom to. The one who never strayed too far and took her job of protecting her family seriously, even if it was just to bark at a car that sat a litttttttle too long at the crossroad by our house.
The matriarch. The shadow. The farm ambassador. The babysitter. The goofball. The snuggle buddy. The meal sharer (and by share I mean she'd stare at you until you shared it with her). The bestest girl in the whole world.
Today, that world got a little dimmer and the house got a lot quieter as we said "until we meet again" to our baby girl. She lived an amazing 16 years and we were so lucky to have had the honor of sharing our life with her. And sharing her with you. She loved greeting you, enforcing the Skitty Tax before showing you to the barn, getting all the pets and love, and making sure you had a good time at the farm. She was, simply put, an amazing soul and one damn fine dog.
Rest easy, Skits...we'll keep an eye on the farm for you.
