On October 23rd, we laid to rest a large piece of our hearts. Gala was the personal dog and beloved girl, of CalmK9 Training owner, David. If you knew Gala, you knew how special she was. From her little gremlin looks, the way she initiated play (tiny stomps and tap dances), to her excited response to “Gala where’s your toy”, and her most loyal and dedicated work with David as not only the goodiest girl, but also the most patient and excellent role model for all the dogs that came through the Board and Train program. Gala, quite literally, was always at David’s right side. Her decline was sharp and unexpected, but her last day was a reflection of her life. Happy, off leash play with her favorite dog siblings, cuddles with her favorite humans, and passing away peacefully in our arms with the sun shining down upon her. She will be forever missed and forever the apple of our hearts.
