Kahlua was a loving companion and a wonderful family pet. She loved the water and her favourite place to be was up at the family cottage during the summers. We will always remember how much she loved it up there and how she would retrieve balls and sticks and toys out of the water all day long. Kahlua was the first addition to our family, but she willingly accepted our two children when each of them was born. When our children were infants, if any dog came close to their baby carriage, Kahlua would protect them with all her might. She passed away just 2 weeks shy of her 9th birthday due to a sudden stroke. Thankfully, she was never in any pain and spent her last days perfectly healthy and happy. She even picked a prime opportunity to see everyone for one last time, as our enitre family was over for Easter dinner when it happened. Kahlua was a great dog and an important part of our family. We all miss her.
