Good night, sweet princess

A year ago, my Airedale Terrier named Karma turned 9 years old, and that very same the day, the vet came to the house to euthanize Karma. She had a very aggressive bone cancer in her spine and by the time it was diagnosed, there was no treatment recourse. She was such a wonderful dog, very much a proud, haughty terrier who could also be silly and goofy. But largely, she was Princess Karma, and about 3 years ago, I found a tiara during Halloween costume season and purchased it for Karma's use. While she had a "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" attitude, she was also a bit of a ruffian and preferred to have her hair long and shaggy. She wasn't one of those preening terriers who came home from grooming with an attitude. Well, she did have an attitude after grooming, but it out of annoyance and embarrassment -- she far preferred her "au natural" state. Thus, her official princess portrait properly shows her in a bit of a wooly-bully dishevel. I do so miss playing with those curls. Here she is in all her glory...

Look at that sweet face! I was just telling my boyfriend on the way home tonight that most terriers look so happy to me. I don't know if it's the proportion of their features or what, but they always look happy and laughing in an almost human way. All these tales of dogs dying today is really bringing me down, though, so a round of :) for everyone.

 

ETA: I think she looks more like, "why do you have me wearing this freakin' tiara?" in that particular picture.
