Official Ranch Dog, the white and fluffy Akela, died yesterday while sleeping under one of the trucks at Florence Lake. She will be buried at Blayney Meadow.
Akela was one of the featured animals in Never a Dull Moment, the book Hilary wrote as part of a home schooling project, in 1998. She was pictured as a scrawny, wary, wolf-like beast when she was captured along the Kaiser Pass Road by Hilary and Karla. She had more wrong with her than you can shake a vet at, and ended her life on almost the equivalent of life support, what with many medications and injections to keep her going. She will be missed.
But I think she would have enjoyed the following video. I know I do.
