On October 11th our beloved Lady went to join her best friend Jersey. I'm sure they are happy to be running around together again. We lost Jersey back in March and Lady was completely at a loss without her. She would occasionally stand at the bottom of the staircase and bark once as if to say, "Jersey come down here". Lady had lost the ability to climb those stairs though sometimes she would surprise me and make a run for them only to find out she couldn't get back down.
They would run to the laundry room every time I went in there to fold clothes and beg for treats!
They loved Christmas lights.

She had lots of health issues steming from Cushings Disease and a broken heart. To lose two dogs in such a short time has been extremely difficult.
Cushings disease caused her to have lots of skin problems, so we started having her hair clipped short. I loved hugging her even more because she felt like a chamois after a clipping.
She loved laying with her dad each night on the recliner.
We are so happy that she got to go on our first camping trip to Wallace State Park. We weren't sure how she would do so we didn't go too far in case we had to go back home. She loved it though!
Lady was a Golly (Collie and Golden mix) and was the most gentle dog we've ever had living up to her name. She loved everyone including children but was a little shy. Needless to say, it's very quiet around here now, but we are taking our time to get over this before jumping back in with a new dog.
I'm walking Jersey and Rick is walking Lady in this painting "Dog Day's of Summer".
Miss you girls!
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is so difficult and to lose both your girls within a few months of each other...
ReplyDeleteDid you happen to notice Anne Graham Lotz (Instagram) discussing the loss of her dog this week. She tells of an interesting conversation she had with her mother Ruth Bell Graham that might make you smile.
Much comfort to you and your home. The Lord knows and He cares.
