Allie Kirila

(Crossed over the Rainbow Bridge 8/25/2009)

Allie enjoyed obedience classes at the K-9 academy where she trained to obtain her Canine Good Citizen & TDI status. She also liked attending agility classes. Even w/her kind demeanor she let the other dogs know she was alpha. For her nursing home visits she learned a Lassie trick; We had a 5 gal. bucket painted to look like bricks. She learned to pull a knotted rope w/a small blond boy tied to the other end from the bucket. Thus her trick was to pull Timmy from the well. She also learned to gave her Mom a hug by placing her front legs on Moms shoulders & moving her head from one cheek to the other. The nursing home residents enjoyed her company & loved petting her soft coat.
At home Allie liked laying in the back yard watching squirrels & groundhogs. If there were only 1 or 2 she would chase them, but if more were gathering acorns she just watched, perhaps knowing she was out numbered. She lived by a lake & could spend hours walking in the water’s edge watching the fish, pouncing to catch them. She rode the pontoon, jetski & kayak. She also liked riding the John Deere gator when Mom was working outside. She rode the shotgun, her legs on Mom’s lap.
Allie’s life was well rounded; she almost always tagged along w/Mom so she went to spinning classes, yoga, & was the tennis mascot for the senior tennis league at Buhl Park her whole life. She occasionally enjoyed a bowl of water on the patio of Panera when Mom had coffee. Everywhere she went people loved her.
She will be sadly miss especially by her Mom.
