Simply The Best de Loubajac, 20.9.2001 - for ever...

I will see her smile on every dog running those contacts, on every dog doing cik&cap, every dog doing tricks... She started something big, too big to ever die.

Such a big heart, such a big attitude, such a big character in that crazy little dog. So unique, so special, so magic. That little funny looking dog who went with me to University, who travelled the world with me in her little sherpa bag. That crazy little dog who changed my life, little dog who put agility in a whole new gear, winning World Championships with more advantage as ever seen before or after... Yes, she always loved to go fast - and she left us way too fast... After successfully fighting the nasal tumor and magic recovery of her palate fistula, new tumors in her lungs and peritonitis got us off guard... But her spirit, her passion, her enthusiasm are way too big to ever leave us.

Thank you La for being the best dog I could imagine. Thanks to all her fans who were sending good thoughts her way. Thanks to her team of oncologists, dr.Meier from Zurich, dr.Kleiter from Vienna and dr.Nolan from Raleigh, and her on site vets Maja and Asja.

Run wild my love, my one in a billion, my everything.

I am so sad to hear this, but wow what a legacy she leaves. Goodbye and thank you little La, know that you were probably the most admired little dog the world has ever known.

Sleep well, crazy, little La -- a once in a lifetime dog, for sure. You meant so much, not only for the once close by, but for the whole agilityworld -- and you will be in all our hearts and never be forgotten. Of course you will live forever and ever <3

I’m so sorry for your loss, Silvia! I know how much she meant to you.. I will never forget the first time I saw La at the AWC in Lievin and when I was standing close to you at the closing ceremony I was just staring at you as La was doing the most amazing tricks I’ve ever seen. Yes, La was simply the best and will always be -- she marked me forever and will never be forgotten! R.I.P. La
