"I fell in love with her immediately. It was as if our lives intersected perfectly. She needed me and I her. For 14 years, Payton and I had a special bond. She was fond of open gates and the opportunity to run the neighborhood off leash. At 6 months old, I frantically called a friend to help me find her. We searched for hours only to realize she was in the hall closet…sleeping! I can't tell you how many times, my heart skipped a beat for this girl. I was her protector and caregiver while she just wanted to go where that beagle nose would take her."

"She had a long and happy life with us and we thank Drs. Kelly, Crow, Myhre, Weihl, Tegarden, Kimmel, and O'Connor of the Elliott Bay Animal Hospital for their excellent care and thoughtful memorial gift."
