Today's blog post is in memory of beautiful "Icy" the Therapy Dog of DogsLuvUsAndWeLuvThem.com. P lease join us in sending soft woos northward as my longtime friend and fellow dog blogger and Siberian Husky lover, Cathy Armato of Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them recently had to bid goodbye to her beautiful girl “Icy” who has earned her furangel wings.  Here in the pet blogging universe, we all have become like a family.

Even before the first flake softly swirled down, it was almost as though they felt it and the excitement would build until I let them out into the yard!
