Champagne

Today is a sad day for the Mowrer's. Sadly, Champagne, a member of our family had to be put to sleep this afternoon. She was 9 years old and in the final stages of cancer. Champagne was not just a good dog she was an extraordinary dog. I've never known another dog like her. She was so human, it was like she could think and understand just like a person could. I love our dog, Bear and I loved our family dog, Chardonnay but Champagne really was special and unique. She was also very beautiful with quite a coat of fur. I have so many fond memories of Champagne. She will be greatly missed!
She always loved my parents woods---here she is checking out the lawn while watching out for deer to chase Here she is on the left enjoying Christmas several years ago
Champagne, as always is front and center in this picture (left--Bear and Right--Beija)

I'm SO sorry Laura. You know we're crazy dog people over here and understand that special bond.
