Deli, a beloved Clumber Spaniel, crossed the rainbow bridge on 4/25, after a courageous battle with nasal cancer. Deli was just 10 years old, yet her impact on those who knew her was immeasurable.

Born as the firstborn of the Alpha litter in Moosbach, Bavaria, Deli quickly became known as the most practically perfect girl on the planet. Her charming disposition and sweet nature endeared her to everyone she met, and she was the embodiment of a loyal companion, always by her mom’s side. Deli’s early years were affectionately dubbed the “Deli the Destroyer” years, a time marked by her mischievous antics which included the destruction of a house phone, clothing, shoes, a wallet, and even a cement wall. As she matured, her nickname evolved to “the disembowler,” as no stuffed animal was safe from her playful paws. Despite her mischievous past, Deli’s intelligence and playful spirit shone through, making her the mastermind of many delightful dog hijinks. Deli thrived on adventure, enjoying long hikes, agility courses, and water duck retrieval, displaying both grace and enthusiasm in every endeavor. Her loyalty and companionship were unwavering, and she stood proudly by her mom’s side.
