More: When we brought Gracie Home, 30 days later my husband passed. Gracie is so smart and intuitive and quick witted. She was there for me and rescued me as a puppy! She knew how to self entertain herself and it was so fun watching her. She made me laugh. At six months, I knew she needed a dog companion, so we got Arcturus. Gracie had this natural instinct to mentored him. That was such a joy to witness. When I say “Arcturus no” because he’s getting into something, Gracie will run up to him (now both as adult dogs),and bark once at him to get his attention. She is full of fun & laughter. Gracie is aware, alert, courageous, compassionate, and loving. She is a true leader and teacher. Gracie can be a fierce protector if she wanted. Most of all, Gracie IS LOVE in its purest form!
