In honor of Paws: July 1996 - today

My Labbies
Paws and Bear 
Coronado Beach, California 2008

Paws joined her sister, Bear, today.  She was 14 1/2 years old and my dearest friend.  Both the gifts and the loss are immeasurable.  

I love this photo of my two old sisters taken on one of those perfect days.   They sat and stood there for quite some time that morning, comfortable together. 

Sempre Fidelis - Always Faithful

  5. Such a precious photo of your two sweeties enjoying the day together ~ I am so sorry to hear of Paws' passing! I know exactly what you mean when you say "the gifts and loss are unmeasurable". We lost our lab Bentley 2 years ago at 11 1/2 and this past December adopted a sweet lab Ernest who turned 12 last month. In my thoughts ...Deb.

  9. So sorry for your loss. As a fellow paw lover I can only imagine how hard things are now. They fill our days with such love and joy, the vacuum left behind can be overwhelming. Time does help and fond memories too. Thinking of you xox
