Winnie

Rest in Peace Dear Winnie January 2, 1997 – June 9, 2012 Winnie was born and spent the first 5 years of her life in Pendleton, OR. She was adopted by Jayde in March 2002, and began a life of new adventures in Montana. Later, she moved with Jayde to Portland, OR and finally Seattle. In her younger years, she loved running (especially to chase squirrels), playing, hiking, camping, and wading in the shallows of rivers. Her later years in Seattle found her often at Greenlake, and exploring the many city parks of Seattle. While quiet by nature, Winnie was also a very social dog, always up for a party, and loved having guests to greet and make welcome. Her love of food and treats, especially salmon treats and carrots, is legendary. And in her senior years, a good treat always trumped arthritis pain and got her moving again. Winnie was a wonderful companion and friend to many, but especially to Jayde, whom she emotionally supported through graduate school, multiple moves, and her first few professional jobs, and to Josh, to whom she wholeheartedly gave approval as Jayde’s future husband. Her invariable supervision of all cooking procedures and sweet, joyful presence will be missed.
