“Life is finite, fragile, and a gift.”  Those words were written in an email which arrived, telling of the passing of a dear friend, Donna Wilt (IAWaterlily) of Iowa on Tuesday, April 29, 2008.  Not only my friend, but a friend to many of the “dog folk” as she like to call us.  A long-time Apso owner, she was an ambassador for the breed and a volunteer for ALAC rescue.  She was a co-owner of of the Epil-K9 list, a support group for owners of dogs with epilepsy.  Quick witted, she was also quick to help in any situation requiring assistance — from advice over the ‘Net to groceries shipped to breed rescue in Mississippi ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.  Her calendar photos of Gucci and Yeti never failed to make one smile … and wonder how she managed to find all the props and get the dogs to pose. 

Dogdom has lost one of its best friends …
