Laika 12/16/2005 - 9/21/2017

Very sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved Laika yesterday. She was our first baby and the best dog - full of affection, gentle, smart, and a good "big sister" and playmate for Anya.  I hope wherever she is, there are unlimited tennis balls, treats, and games of tug-o-war. We miss her terribly and feel a huge void. I love you, Laikadog-puppyfrog.
