At the end of this year....2010

The last day of the year is the day I list all the dogs/pets we lost this year. I don't want to make every one sad, but I do want to honor those pets and their families and the love they shared. Many died too young, but most lived a long life and most were rescues who were saved and were able to be loved and cared for. Thank you to all who shared their pictures with me. I did not have pictures of Chloe, Sissy, Peyton, or Irish setter Rory (Dian's dog, our club treasurer, but I met him at one of our picnics and he was a beauty). Here are ones I want to share with all of you and I know each one blessed their family's life.
Kallos/Kallie Girl, my daughter's Chocolate lab, will be in our hearts forever. She was a sweet dog who loved and was loved by her family. I miss you, too, Kallie. You were always nudging my hand to give you pets and hugs.

Buddy Dat, Essie's cat, lived a wonderful life with her. He was Missy Anne's friend.

Missie Anne died on Dec. 21. She was Essie and Kevin's sweet girl-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LCWte_Au0U
