juliet was more than a best friend. she was a guardian and soul mate. since she got spayed before having the chance to have her own pupps, she took on other orphans along the way. our calico had kittens and juliet decided she would Also be their mother. She sat on them to keep them warm. she also carried and licked them every chance she got. we adopted 2 or 3 puppies along the way and she did her best to teach them the ways of Doghood. she always looked after me every single day telling me what to do and when. she'd watch me closely in daily activity as if she were my boss. anything that was difficult or stressful was easier because she was there. since i never had children she would let me read to her as if she were my own. she'd gather up the other animals for daily walks always stopping along the way to wait for the others to catch up. she was confident, competent and loveable. juliet served for much inspiration for my writing. we all loved her very much! she was the central member of our family. she held us together. she became very wise and mellow. we were always learning things from her, u know the things that matter more. lessons of the spirit and heart. it is very hard to tell her good-bye.
