Kiera (aka Keira depending upon which family member is spelling her name) 2/25/01 – 12/26/2014 You rescued us when we met you at the Oregon Humane Society.  I left work early ‘just to see’ the abandoned litter and my husband told his coworkers, “I think we’re going home with a dog today.”  As newlyweds, we
