Thanks for sharing this. Great to see pics of Alika and Losh Muffin. Alika was certainly a “dog” apart. There are two things that I especially remember about her. First, the incredibly sly way she would disappear. She would slowly make her way to the edge of the field, and it was clear what she was thinking, so you would watch her. But she watched us even more intently, and the second our attention was diverted, she would be gone. Could never quite figure out how she could disappear so totally in such a split second of time. The other thing was her levitating jumps above the high grass in the field, followed by precision three point landings to catch “meals on squeals.”
