Catori's Story
Catori (kah-TOR-ee) — “Spirit” in the Hopi language
For 14 years, Catori was my compass, my “sunshine on a cloudy day,” my faithful companion…my everything.
We hiked trails, splashed through rivers, and watched sunsets together. She was my death doula when I lost my mother. She sat with me with the kind of quiet dignity that only a very old, wise soul carries.
She had a golden coat that caught the light like it was made for it, and eyes that understood more than most people give dogs credit for.
When Catori passed in September 2025, my grief was so overwhelming it was nearly unbearable. But through that grief I found clarity: my love for Catori extends to all dogs, and the bond between them and their people.
Catori’s spirit lives on through Catori’s Path. She is the reason I want to support your relationship with your dog.
