A few weeks ago, I've received news that Shaka, the dog photographed on the left, passed away. Rival, photographed on the right, is her long term companion.

They both stayed over last summer at Exercise My Mutt for boarding and daycare. From what I remember, they were inseparable, if Shaka wanted to rest at a spot where the sun was spilling into the room, Rival was right there accompanying her. It was a very sweet relationship.

When Shaka passed away, it was hard for Rival to cope. So Rival returned to EMM (Exercise My Mutt) for weekly daycare to get his mind off from his loss. Slowly but surely, he is having a great time at day care and we are happy to have him in our family.
