Natale is in Doggy Heaven.

Natale

Age 10, ~2006 - July 11, 2016

Natale lived happy & was such a good girl. She will be forever missed by all who loved her.

Nickname: Tale, Nazi, Princess

Natale means Christmas in Italian. It is pronounced Na-ta-lay. It was close to Christmas when someone dropped this cute puppy girl loose in the Citrus Park Mall. She was saved by a friend of Rachel's who alerted my Saint Francis of Assisi sister that a puppy needed a home.

We named her Natale and she soon received a shortened version of "Tale" (tall-e) and a nickname of Nazi which my sister has her own silly reasons for that one. Nonetheless she quickly became our girl and we were in love with her.

Rachel & I went and picked out a pink collar and heart shaped name tag for her. She eventually grew out of that collar because like her auntie (me) she was a voluptuous gal.

Natale loved to sit out in the sun. She could sit of hours watching the pond activity in the back yard. She loved being mischievous and sneaking off for an adventure while we called and searched for her. She loved chasing possums, squirrels, cats, ducks, etc as well as tennis balls and frisbees. She wasn't the best at the return part of fetch but loves chasing after frisbees then tearing them to shreds.

She loved to wait to get the salmon skin when my dad was done grilling. She loved all treats and rope bones. Her favorite spot to be rubbed was on top of her nose and in between her eyes. She would paw at you to pet her.

I love her so much and she will always be in my heart. Rest in Peace & Treats my sweet girl. XoXo
