For Miz Cedar Dogge

February 25, 2001–April 24, 2012

Cedar was intelligent, inquisitive, willful, demanding,

bratty, expectant, a dragon in a golden retriever’s body.

She never met a stranger and fully expected everyone

she met to love—and pet!—her, and they generally did.

She was the perfect travel companion, the consummate

hostess, an intuitive and compassionate friend. She

always had a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face.

She always got the last bite of everything I ate and took

her duties as pre-wash cycle for the dishwasher very

seriously. She loved when I bought a Kindle because it

gave me one more hand available to pet her with while

I read. She loved to go to the dog beach—not for the

dogs, or the beach—but for the pets she received from

all the dog-friendly people there; a roll in a dead crab

and some seaweed was always a bonus. Her favorite

thing in the world was a good roll in some scratchy

grass, even better if some wild creature had left

something good and stinky there first. She was a force

of nature who has left very big paw prints on our hearts

and a huge hole in our lives. I miss her every day.
