More: Mason patrolled our property with her distinctive running/bouncing gait, but she was not averse to approaching friendly trespassers for a pet and belly rub! She looked young until close to the end, when she sometimes became a little confused, but always rebounded the next day and was back to bouncing through the yard, her beautiful chocolate coat gleaming. Here she is on her Orvis pillow ready to be let out for a swim. We miss our girl so much!
