Katie would be 14 today (April 25th)!!
Katie’s first Summer at “Camp Redtail Rise” … runnin’ in the woods, lookin’ for birds! … 5 years old and looking amazing! ..
Standin’ under the flowers one evening …
Enjoying Summer! …
9 years old, relaxin’ on a warm summer day! …
Katie loved to swim!!!!! …
For some reason the dogs loved laying on the bbq cover. And Katie, well, she snuggled into the bbq cover when it was behind the bbq!!😂 …
Wearing her bandana that her mom made for her! …
Rollin’ in the snow! …
Almost 11 years old! Keepin’ close watch on the ruffed grouse up in the tree! …
Katie slept in this position frequently, so it must have been comfortable! 😆 …
Swimmin’, swimmin’, swimmin’! …
Her favorite spot in the kitchen… in front of the heat vent!😄 …
The horses just got too close for her comfort, so up with Uncle Brian she went! …
Chillaxin’ in a puddle! …
What a lovely girl! …
Checkin’ for grouse! …
Comfy cozy in her bed (the chair in our room 😁) …
She found another grouse! …
Her “spot” … well, one of them! …
Enjoying a neck scratch from Uncle Brian while layin’ in the sun! …
Katie loved to lay close to the brush pile fires!! …
Enjoying a warm February day! …
“Going for a run” became riding in the quad with us, at least for a bulk of the run. This past Winter, she didn’t like the cold anymore, but she still loved being outside on the warm days, especially when we were altogether outside!
This is my all-time favourite photo of all that I took of Katie! …
Katie never stopped hunting out here!! Every time we went for a run, she and Aengus checked out every spot they’d ever found a bird! They worked together finding grouse, backing each other up!
We miss Katie every day! She was the most incredible dog! She loved everyone and everyone loved her! She was very special!! It was such a pleasure to have her in our lives for so long!!
