This week Kat and Roger lost Kayla, their oldest dog, suddenly to cancer.

The picture above is from the last Christmas when we were all drunk (or at least I was) and silly and Christy had put reindeer antlers on Kayla. She was such a sweet dog … loving nothing more than to have her belly rubbed and her a-p-p-l-e treat.

On Tuesday, when I got the very unexpected e-mail from Kat that Kayla was gone, I cried.

Goodbye, old girl. You’re going to be missed by all.
