Luna the Tuna



One year ago today, I had to say goodbye to my wonderful companion of 11 years, Luna. She was bright and goofy and always fun to have around. I had many endearing names for her and I still think of the silly names I called her on a daily basis. My favorite was Luna the Tuna. I don't remember why, but the name stuck with us for her whole life.
I gave her to my husband as an anniversary gift, she was the fifth of a litter of 13 puppies. My daughter Sarah and I drove to Washington state from Salem Oregon and along the way, we talked about whether the car would be big enough to carry a Great Dane puppy back to Oregon. I have been in love with Great Danes ever since.
In the months after she came to live with us, we became the best of friends and bonded for the rest of her life. I have so many stories from over the years and there will never be another like her. She brought such joy to my life.
My memories and computer are full of her. Here are a few photos that I love the best.
