Awwwwww .....
My heart is full of joy right now 
Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)

And now I am trying to sleep but Mom is rattling away packing ...
Anyway ...
There's plenty of time to snooze in the car tomorrow ...
It's 750 km from here to Burgos but it is no sweat for me or Mom ...
Mom's daughters always laugh and say Mom was born with a truck driver's soul 
And I agree ...

It's so wonderful how the children get down and hug Missy Cow without hesitancy or fear. Obviously they love dogs and Eurydice shows how gentle she is.
She could have been a life guard of sorts, keeping an eye out for those who need a friend for a cuddle or play time. As others have said she is a great ambassador of love and sweetness and I'm sure many are talking about her for days to come.
Love to both of you. Safe travels.
Kisses from Kerren and cuddles from the Katz

Beach patrol looks very similar to critter patrol. I have seen that same back view here, even to how she has her legs. I guess sophisticated European dogs go to the beach to look for kids. Dogs from rural Tennessee go to the backyard to look for rabbits and squirrels.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

Hey auntie Sally, auntie Kerren and auntie Cristine
Yup, Mom is quite an endurance driver but you know what her absolute record is auntie Sally ????
1.618km in one day, yes, your eyes are not tricking you ...
She went from Les Baux de Provence, France to Cascais, Portugal and only stopped to fill up the car x number of times ...
Mom did this with Kinky her previous Dane, who was quite a trooper too!
But Mom said she would never do it again ...
Maximum with me was 1.100km in one day but Mom takes it easy now as she worries about me (I know ...)
Mom and me laughed out loud at your cow butt comment, you've got it right 
And you also got it right that I looooooove kids
Auntie Kerren you are so sweet saying I keep an eye out for those who need a friend for a cuddle or play time.
So I do ...
Auntie Christine, I may be an European beach dawg but I would never say no to chasing squirrels and rabbits if the opportunity would present itself, especially if I had Gator to teach me
As for my day ....
