moxie was special to many people, but especially to me. she was my constant companion and best friend for almost 12 yrs. she was always joyful and listened well. she loved to swim and dive for rocks. she loved all people and showed her enthusiasm by smiling. her fur was so soft and so comforting to pet. she loved attention and often lifted your hand to let your know she'd like to be petted. she loved the snow and would her backside into it. it was funny to see. it was hard to let her go, but i think she was at peace. i will always miss her and think of her with the fondest memories.
