8. After 6 years in Singapore, we moved to San Francisco. I was aware that it was likely her final stop. She was 9 years old at that point.
One of the things I learned about having Cookie was: I will do anything for her.
I didn't want her to fly United (they'd just killed a dog that month) so we went the long way, through Helsinki.
I got to show her one of my favorite cities on the way to SF.
