Sparkling eyes that greeted me with a smile, the thickest, shiniest coat you've ever seen, so rich and soft that the mere touch calmed my nerves and told me everything would be all right. And, it was.
A forward-moving personality. Quick to protect, bark if there was any hint of trouble or questionable behavior--from anyone or anything. Animal, mineral, vegetable--or human. Keen eyesight, hearing and smell, (until a few months ago, in old age.) Very responsive intellect. I've often said Suzy was smarter than most folks. Not a criticism about other people, rather, a comment on her exceptional sense of right and wrong, common sense and perception.
Suzy could assess a situation with razor-sharp accuracy and know, instantly, if we were among friends or foes, entering a danger zone or safe in our environment at the time. She was my barometer and my shrink, my confidante and my guide, my teacher and my spiritual advisor, my crescent moon and my shining star. In sunshine and storms, good times and bad, she forever brought a rainbow to my heart.
