Natasha Katarina II Wordless Wednesday

4/16/2014

Typist: Bethany
Natasha Katarina II was my first best friend. My dad took me to pick her out just before Christmas when I was six years old. Natasha was a stunningly beautiful Siberian husky, she knew it, and she was snooty to everyone in the world but me. To me she was everything... my first puppy, my first roommate, my first love and my first loss. And she will forever be my greatest teacher... from her I learned that loving a dog is life's greatest gift.

I echo your sentiments! My Rose, although a cat not a dog - was very much as you describe.

I love the puppy photograph - she looks so sweet and small. Didn't she grow up to be a beauty!

Mom says first pet is always so special. Her first cat Fluffy is still so special and the first dog she had on her own, Trine, is like a saint. We get tired of hearing about her sometimes but it is wonderful to keep us pets in your hearts.

She was certainly a beautiful girl, and her name was perfect as well.

Natasha was a gorgeous dog. It's always hard losing someone or somepup we care about but I'm glad that you were able to learn a lot of positive lessons from your relationship with her.

What a beautiful girl! Your first dog always teaches you so much and somehow there is just never another quite like the first
