Well, another passing. She makes it to 110 dog years. Sweet Sage, who was for the first seven (human) years of her Aussie life my Mom’s steadfast companion. When Mom passed away in 2006, Sage then joined the family of my good friends Chris & Scharmin (and Sonya and Alex) in Boulder. Smart, attentive like many Aussies, she loved to please with her gentle personality. She especially enjoyed schnuffling and playing in fresh Colorado powder (snow), and, well, for a treat, she was capable of learning just about anything… “Go potty, Sage!” “Wash your hands, Sage!” “Gimme a kiss, Sage!”
