Kiwi's most famous stand was against the postal worker - she would station herself by the mail slot every morning, ready to defend her home from 'invading envelopes.' She had a special 'victory dance' she would do after chasing a squirrel up a tree (even though she never caught one).

Her softest side emerged at bedtime when she would burrow under the covers and curl into the smallest possible ball against our stomachs.

Kiwi was a Yorkshire Terrier with the courage of a lion and the loyalty of a knight. For eleven years, this tiny dog believed she was our mighty protector, bravely confronting bicycles, delivery people, and any perceived threat to her kingdom. Beneath that fierce exterior beat the heart of a snuggly companion who just wanted to be close to her people. She lived a long, full life, her spirit never dimming even as her body aged. Her peaceful passing at home was a blessing, but it doesn't ease the ache of missing our brave little girl. Our home feels strangely safe now, and we miss her fierce presence. Kiwi taught us that size doesn't determine courage, that loyalty comes in small packages, and that even the fiercest protectors need cuddles. She was our tiny warrior and our constant companion.
