In Memory of Kita

This is a picture of my sister's beloved dog who was sadly put to sleep today. Kita began to get sick a few months ago and then lost his sight sometime in April. This post is in Memory of him.
Kita doing something he loved. If he saw water he was in it no questions asked. You would take him on a walk on a trail and he would go into the bush and come back wet because he had found some sort of water.
So it looks like Kita is going to bring back the stick to the person who threw it but that was not the case. Kita rarely brought it back close to the person. He was very protective of his sticks. You only threw toys for him at the house because otherwise you would sometimes end up having to fetch them. He also liked to hide his toys in a bush.
Kita loved rolling around and playing in the snow.
Here he is just chilling we must of tired him out.

Kita was very protective of his loved ones mainly my sister. Whenever we took him for hikes he would run ahead and then my sister would hide and as soon as he turned around and noticed she was gone he would go looking for her. Then later I would hide and usually I would just come out of hiding because he wouldn't come looking for me. If Carolyn was ok then he was ok.

Kita was also pretty gentle and afraid of thunder. If you heard thunder you had about five seconds to get him into the house or he would be gone. I don't know how many times we had to drive looking for him.

My favorite thing about Kita was after I would go to my sister's house after being gone for a few months I would get out of the car and call his name and he would come bouncing and all excited to see me. He was pretty loving.

The worst part about all of this is it's only 10 days until my sister's wedding. But it is better this way cause the wedding would of only been very stressful on Kita and the really hot weather in Creston was getting to him.

Please pray for my sister as she is pretty upset about this and is dealing with the loss.

Good Bye Kita Dearly loved friend and family member

Natashia- Did you have a dog named Charlie? Cause Sarah's Charlie is fine.

Natasha- I like the story of how you took him for a walk to the end of the driveway every morning for the paper but it was never there.

No - I knew you wouldn't get it when I posted it but thought oh well ... Have you seen 'All dogs go to heave'? The dog in that is called Charlie ... It's actually a really sad movie because he also dies at the end of the movie ;(
