her round belly
her undeniable determination to continue to be Alpha

her quiet connection with Madeline
her love of kissing me
her endless kisses
when she was in bliss- the way her teeth would chatter.
when she was in bliss- how she would roll on the bed and stretch out her legs and moan. ( she did this the last few days )
the way she demanded her food with barking

her snoring

how she chewed on balls in bliss
her big paws

her amazing grit to keep walking even when she was tired
her stubbornness

the morning howl with Benjamin
how she would talk back to Benjamin when he had the ball
