Our little four legged friends play a big part of our lives, are a major part of our family, and do assist us in our golf practice. Our little 17 year old dachshund, Katie passed over the rainbow bridge this afternoon. She fell asleep in my lap as she was prepped for her final destination at the vet's office. A hard decision to let her go but afterwards we see that it was best. On many occasions she served as my ball retriever in our backward as I practiced my chipping. Thought she was the cat's meow. Also served to keep the squirrels out of our way when practicing. RIP my little practice buddy. Born on the ides of march, 2006. The beginning and the end.
