We recently lost our beloved friend and companion Java to lung cancer. She was a 12 year old Australian cattle dog whom we loved very much. She had a good life and will be dearly missed. She was abandoned as a puppy on Black Rock mountain in Georgia where we found her while biking through the woods. We had hoped that she and the other dog that we found with her (Mocha) had only been left there temporarily, but it became clear as the sun went down that no one was coming back to get them. We brought her with us back to Florida where we gave both dogs away, but were fortunate to have Java returned to us a day later and she has been with us ever since. There are too many memories to share here, and Java's travels were extensive: She saw both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. She loved the beach.
She climbed Mount Bierstadt (14,060 ft) and Byers Peak (12,804 ft) along with many other smaller mountains on numerous camping trips.
She drove with us from Florida to Colorado, and went with us on our Canadian road trip, traveling as far north as Jasper National Park. These two trips alone spanned over 7000 miles.
Java was very intelligent, loving, and was the best dog one could ask for. We'll miss you girl!
